<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dnas, post: 7485727, member: 93707&quot;]I&#039;ve been looking at the prices of Japanese silver 1 yen coins on ebay. I&#039;ve noticed that good UNC slabbed and graded coins (PCSG &amp; NGC) have been selling for around $400-$600. (usually MS61-MS64)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve noticed that some sellers in Japan have latched onto this, and are trying to sell genuine slabbed coins for WAY too much(buy now). These sellers sell a variety of goods, including Japanese antiques, etc.</p><p>But clearly, they know nothing about coins. Here are some examples:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1295011[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1295014[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These two coins are about as common as each other, but the MS61 is over $6000 USD, while the MS63 is $2000.

And yet they don&#039;t know that cleaning destroys the value of the coin, just aside from wrecking a good coin. They also don&#039;t know that XF is worth a lot less than AU or UNC.</p><p><br /></p><p>$5930 for a cleaned XF:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1295012[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ruined:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1295013[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1295016[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1295017[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1295018[/ATTACH] </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ruined a rare Yr7 1874.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1295015[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Somebody needs to tell these guys to stop ruining coins!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
