<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1479034, member: 36230"]Not only cleaning, but are there other problems that would cause the coins to not be gradable and/or market acceptable? </p><p><br /></p><p>The OP said nothing about the actual grades/conditions of the coins and only quoted redbook values in good. Is this really the grade of all coins in the set? Has the OP seen the coins and/or does he know how to properly grade? No offense to the OP or anyone else, but if he truly wants to be fair with this person, simply telling him redbook prices are high is not doing much to help him unless this is the actual grade of the listed coins - something we do not yet know. As for the other dates, why tell him to pay 15% back of melt without knowing any of the dates or grades? What if (as an example) there is a 25-D in EF instead of AG... would it be fair to his friend to offer $1.69 for it? I am not trying to say anyone was wrong in what they said. I am only trying to point out that we know very little and there is more to consider, especially if he is dealing with a friend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
