[QUOTE="fizzy, post: 1293963, member: 32632"]i think the reason i was able to acquire it, already many years ago, for $350, is because it was cleaned. an isabella quarter in lesser condition is more valuable than $350. someone said something about it's being harshly cleaned, but i never said "harshly" - i think the coin presents quite amazingly. i will try to photograph it this weekend to include. ethics sure figure into this except that if pcgs grades it as ms64 then that's what it is, it only exposes that cleaning (unless "harsh") is not what's at issue here. meanwhile, i'll try to put a silver dime near some hard boiled crumbled egg yolks and see what the dime looks like after a couple of days but actually don't intend to subject a genuinely potentially valuable coin to such a cheap parlour trick. -g[/QUOTE]
