<p>[QUOTE="LETSBUYCOINS, post: 45574, member: 2657"]When you start talking about cracked dies; filled dies: I dont know what that means. Grading coins ia not easy. I think Ive learned pretty good how to grade a Morgan dollar. Im fairly confident if theres discoloration, its circulation wear. In addition to the discoloration on on the worn area, the coin might have scratchy surfaces. If you dont have glassy satiny surfaces, and what you have is pale, scratchy surfaces, then definitely the coin is worn, or cleaned. I still say the low tier slabs are good deals. At the coin show, a dealer said "guess what: they all overgrade; PCGS included." If you're going to talk to me about Lincoln Pennies; Indian pennies: I dont know crap about those. I dont know what a cleaned penny looks like. Collectors look for RED cents? why is it the Morgans sell for good money with toning, but the collectors dont like Toned Pennies? Im sticking to Morgans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
