<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GreenPVCHaze, post: 1895353, member: 68310&quot;]Forgot to add, a good place you can look at such coins quickly (albeit not in person) is eBay. You&#039;ll see a variety of coins not in third-party holders that look suspiciously shiny, or have some details a bit deteriorated at a rate that doesn&#039;t correspond with others nearby, etc. Search for &quot;NGC Whizzed&quot; or &quot;PCGS Whizzed&quot; and look at the zoom-in images of some of the coins you see. With these, the seller isn&#039;t trying to hide the fact that they&#039;ve been improperly cleaned. It&#039;s the coins not in third-party holders listed on eBay that often have issues that can&#039;t be seen without magnification, and certainly not online. At a coin show, you&#039;re free to examine potential purchases with a loupe (I find if a dealer won&#039;t let you look at a coin under magnification before purchasing it, he&#039;s probably trying to unload a problem coin on you), but don&#039;t have that luxury online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
