<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 26318967, member: 3726"]Yeah - and 10 to 15 years might not be enough. This reminds me of a conversation with a dealer on the phone - shipped some raw coins to sell to them. So we went thru and talked about each coin offer - but on the very first coin he paused. He gave me the offer - and he was talking about it being cleaned etc. I was like yeah I screwed the pooch on that one. He asked what I paid and he was like yeah no way I can pay that much but I have made much worse mistakes when he first started. So bottom line was on non-problem coins I did okay made a few bucks, but cleaned coins not so much. So yeah might work for 40 yrs, but did not work for 10-12 yrs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Out of the 3 albums I sold - bust halves I was filling holes and not always paying attention to the coin if I could live with it. Lost money - but not as much as I expected. My IHC album and my liberty nickel albums I made money on. On both of those I did not just fill holes. I picked good coins and if I got one questionable (a couple of IHC from ebay) I replaced them. So bottom line pick best problem free coins you can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
