<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 5369777, member: 100459"]Many years ago, I got interested in coin collecting when I inherited my father's coin collection. I started reading about coins..Silver coins, Gold coins, and many other types. I decided that I wanted to see some coins that were in a coin store. I lucked up and found a dealer that bought and sold coins. He showed me several gold coins and he recommended a couple. I bought them Raw. He suggested that I should have them graded. He was going to a show shortly and recommended that I have them graded by a company that should be there and I could save some money by him having get them graded at the show. He took them to the show and they were graded. When he returned, they had been graded by NGC, a very reputable company. One of the coins was a 1895 $10 Liberty Eagle, It was graded MS61. Being new, I didn't know if it was good or not. Anyway, the other coin was a 1904 Liberty Double Eagle. It came back with "UNC. Details-Obverse Scratched" The question I have is, has the coin been cleaned and they just wanted to avoid that?</p><p>I've not had any coins graded since. Most gold and silver are from the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
