<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 4617779, member: 92655"]I think it depends on two things. I bought the three dollar gold below in the late 1990's and gave around $100.00 for it as I recall. It appeared to me to be a fine example until I sent it to ANACS twenty years ago and it came back AU55, Details - Cleaned. I have held this coin for more than twenty years and today could likely sell it in a split second for $500.00 even with the details slab.... And here's the other thing. Coin collecting goes through radical fad-like changes. Today a cleaned coin might be a cancer. Ten years from now a collector may not care. Particularly if it is an eye appealing piece. If you plan to hold the coin, I wouldn't give it a second thought. If your intent is to market the coin soon, you will likely have a tough time selling the piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1143595[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1143596[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
