When getting bids from local dealers have them sign a receipt for your coins. Handle the coins by the rim keeping your fingers off the obverse and reverse. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I echo everyone&#039;s warning about cleaning a coin (no rubbing, polishing, nor any dip or paste!).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Clinker[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
