<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mycohopper, post: 939833, member: 21377&quot;]Just had a scary thought: is it possible for someone to re-plate a silver coin (or copper, or gold) so that it appears to be a higher grade that it actually is? Example: you find a raw, BU example of a 1932-D quarter with some hairline scratches in the field and devices and you dip it in a silver-plating solution to cover it up and add luster to the entire coin. (??)</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I ask is because I&#039;ve been looking through &quot;hsturn&quot;&#039;s inventory on eBay and I just can&#039;t fathom a legitimate reason as to why ALL of his coins are uniform in appearance. There&#039;s no way you can have that many coins that look EXACTLY the same with NO trace of hairline scratches yet there are noticeable dings and deeper scratches on the coin. Am I going crazy or could this be a possible technique that&#039;s used out there?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
