<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 496482, member: 112&quot;]I was talking about US coins and no, modern coins (defined as those struck post &#039;64), are not included. And yes, the term cleaned does include those coins that have been dipped. Some experts will use numbers like 70% - 80%, others will say 80% - 90% - it depends on who it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you want to talk about problem coins - those thta have been harshly/imporperly cleaned, altered what have you - the numbers almost universally quoted are that 80% of all collectible US coins that are not slabbed by a reputable company are problem coins of one kind or another.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yeah, I know, you&#039;re gonna find those numbers hard to believe too. You know why you find it hard to believe ? Because you don&#039;t have the experience that those people have. Most people don&#039;t even recognize a problem coin when they see one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
