<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 942209, member: 22271&quot;]A minor point, but even a single cleaned coin can be worth $10,000. I don&#039;t doubt that a large number of VG and higher grade 1793 Sheldon-1 (AMERI.) Chain cents have been cleaned at one point. That hasn&#039;t stopped people form spending 5 figures to get one.</p><p><br /></p><p>If mystry13 spent $10,000 on his 4 coins and then found they had been cleaned—assuming that he was not told by the seller that they had been cleaned <i>and</i> the seller is an ANA member, he has recourse to get his money back.</p><p>mystry13: what was the source of the coins? Did you have any return privileges? Have you cracked the coins out of their slabs?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; and obviously, <i>any</i> attempt to alter the surface(s) of these coins would negate any legal right to seek redress.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
