<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ramedog, post: 1711107, member: 51061&quot;]DISCLAIMER: Ok so I know this is bound to start a controversy, and its not meant to. Being relatively new to investing in coins, as opposed to searching through loose change, its one of those things that the books just don&#039;t really address.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is, what is the damage to a coin&#039;s value with any of the &quot;Improperly Cleaned&quot; / &quot;Whizzed&quot; / &quot;Environmental Damage&quot; labels coming back from a TPG. I&#039;d imagine it depends on the coin, and to help out, I&#039;m looking at pre-1860 coins, flying eagle pennies, large cents, half cents, and generally anything pre-civil war in US coinage. I&#039;ve got the grade books, and the Red Book but they don&#039;t seem to cover coins that are modified or damaged. I&#039;d like to invest in some of these coins, and don&#039;t know how detrimental to their value these labels are (I don&#039;t want to overpay). Thanks in advance for your replies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
