<p>[QUOTE=&quot;littlehugger, post: 2473647, member: 58633&quot;]True, a great many problem coins are high grade, but not pretty. Old copper gets crud on it, silver oxidizes. Make it pretty and flashy, and people will buy it.</p><p>&nbsp;Many do NOT see flashy cleaned coins as problem coins, but will turn their noses up at the same coin, pre-cleaned.</p><p>&nbsp;The obvious one I saw on ebay looked wire brushed, although you could easily see the semi circular scratches. It was not heavily worn, and it was blazing shiny. So, even with obvious harsh polishing, people were bidding it up.</p><p>&nbsp;Personally, I like my coins to look like they should. A chocolate old copper is Ok, if its not layered in crud,but I prefer silver to be...silver![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
