<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Millennial, post: 2002775, member: 72465&quot;]Hi everyone. I&#039;m new to this forum and, after receiving a batch of walking liberty half dollars, I was prompted to join as I have a few questions.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is some background: I recently bought a bunch of circulated walking liberty half dollars (&quot;junk silver&quot;) from a reputable online bullion dealer.&nbsp; Unfortunately, many of these coins came very rusted. I bought 60 coins, 20 of which had noticeable rust and 7-8 are heavily rusted. I&#039;ve bought coins from this dealer a number of times, but never received coins that were this bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been purchasing 90% silver coins only for a few years; so, I&#039;m no expert at spotting fakes. I&#039;ve never seen 90% silver coins with rust like this. Also, I&#039;ve never cleaned a coin before, but I&#039;m highly considering cleaning the rust of these; it&#039;s so bad it actually makes me sneeze. Any thoughts about whether these are genuine, or whether I should clean them? (my camera doesn&#039;t pick up the green well, but a lot of the brownish colors in the pictures below are actually dark green)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]359098[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]359099[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]359100[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]359101[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]359102[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
