[QUOTE="Doc J, post: 3105358, member: 29599"]You proved my point. You bought at $10 and sold at $15. These were probably Peace coins? Please understand that I am experimenting with old 'melt' grade silver coins. I liked the way the experiment worked. When there are 98% on the "do not wash side" and 2% on the "try something different" view, I am all over the contrarian side. I would never say that someone should wash any coin that would grade at a AU 50 and certainly up to the MS60 grades. I think the VF (very fine) grades are nuts. These are old worn out coins (I am going with poor condition--call it PC). I say have fun with them. That said, the Double Eagle $20 Saint-Gaudens (1907-1933) gold coins are the most beautiful and the best investment. I've bought several this year. It's still the most beautiful coin, and one that has a fair ask price. The .25 oz and .50 oz. Liberty coins are a really nice buy today. Don't wash these. :D[/QUOTE]
