<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1492282, member: 37356&quot;]I know what you mean, I have seen tons of seated coins being sold for 2x melt plus that almost looked bleached.&nbsp; Of course your coin should be worn to nothing before making it white-faced.&nbsp; Of course you have others that buy coins that look like turds since those are least likely to be altered.&nbsp; I was a at a coin show and encountered the beat up large cent and showed the large cent below to him and he said &quot;that is pretty ugly&quot;.&nbsp; The guy with him thought it was funny when I said &quot;I&#039;ll take it&quot;.&nbsp; Well the price was right and you know it wasn&#039;t cleaned.&nbsp; Who would intentionally make it look like this?&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH]190228.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It is different buying coins retail than at auction though because you don&#039;t know how long it sat and how desirable the coin is to others.&nbsp; On an auction like mine though when a coin gets no bidders, you can&#039;t help but wonder &quot;what is wrong with it?&nbsp; Why does nobody want it?&quot;.&nbsp; On the other hand I see coins selling for much more than I think they are worth really and wonder why they are bidding so high for it.&nbsp; Of course my first coin buying experience is one where I got some real deals because they were coins in books at a PM shop where the prices weren&#039;t changed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
