There are many (clearly noticeable) coins of this kind sold all over different sites and quite frankly, not many people admit to doing any cleaning or whizzing on the coins. I have sold coins before with the description saying "This coin has questionable colors and I believe it to be artificially toned" and guess what happened? I got messages stating the coin was NT and or that I was ATing the coins. I said to myself "if I did such a thing, why would I admit to it?

So a question to Doc U Mint. Do you trust everyone who cleans coins that they will actually admit to cleaning or whizzing them when it comes time to sell?[/QUOTE]
