[QUOTE="HardTruths, post: 2382404, member: 77097"][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)] I understand what your saying but with gold coins I am not sure what to look for. With silver coins it is much easier to see and you have much more of a color spectrum from blast white to very darkly almost black toned coins. Gold is kind of hanging me up though because I have not seen that much of a spectrum.. What I do know is if a gold coin looks brand new it most likely has been cleaned...
