<p>[QUOTE="John D (Bud) Williams, post: 1885168, member: 67853"]Guys, you may or may not have read my 'lesson' in discovering whizzed coins. I will post the picture below. I bought the coin for 330; I bought it as a 'cleaned coin', it turned out to be whizzed. I immediately posted the coin on EBay and it sold last night for 261. I still can't believe it! I even cancelled a bid for a guy that didn't see my several comments about it and close up pictures describing the coin. I expected 100 bucks.</p><p> </p><p>I said all that to say, final analysis seems to still point to the 'eye of the beholder' rules. I couldn't agree more that a pure untouched coin is far more valuable than a cleaned one and certainly more valuable than a whizzed or damaged etc coin. But the market as I see it still seems to generally ignore TPGs details designation in the case of a 'cleaned' problem coin. It won't sell for the same price as a non-details coin but will still sell and demand close to AU+ money if uncirculated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
