<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rzage, post: 2435164, member: 14070&quot;]It does take looking at thousands of coins , but a good rule of thumb is if it looks even a little funny to you , chances are something is wrong with the coin . But the easiest thing to look for are hairlines or impaired luster . Still go to the Auctions like Heritage , it&#039;s free and the pics are adequate to tell . Look at detailed coins and compare them to known straight graded coins . Though being straight graded doesn&#039;t mean they haven&#039;t been cleaned , they are at least market acceptable . Also look up old threads on cleaned coins as the others have said .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
