<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2155333, member: 4781&quot;]It takes a lot of skill and experience to determine if a coin has been cleaned or not. Cleaned coins have burned more novice collectors than anything else. Unscrupulous dealers would polish coins and sell them as &quot;BU&quot; (Brilliant Uncirculated). Coin encapsulation/certification has alleviated that problem to a great extent. But only if the novice buyers take the advice and stick to certified coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it only requires a basic ability to read to be able to determine that the date on a coin doesn&#039;t fit the norm.</p><p><br /></p><p>My web site documents everything I&#039;ve done. Information about them has been widely publicized on the internet, in Coin World, in Numismatic News, and on web forums like this one. I made sure of that. My over-strikes are collectibles in their own right and have a following. That will all continue.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a person won&#039;t do even a minimal information search concerning something that they are thinking of buying, there is no helping them. Would you buy a car without researching some aspects of that car ?</p><p><br /></p><p>My &quot;1964-D&quot; Peace dollar over-strikes were produced and last sold in 2010. About 1,900 total were released. Find one instance where someone paid more than the current market value for one ($250 to $550).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
