<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1460870, member: 37356&quot;]What makes you believe it is cleaned?&nbsp; I am sure a lot of coins this age have been cleaned at some point but this coin doesn&#039;t look like someone tried to make it white-faced or alter it&#039;s appearance.&nbsp; I am sure someone dropped it in acetone or something at one time like many coins.&nbsp; Even using distilled water is considered cleaned. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen someone use this graysheet before on just about every coin even those in the junk bins.&nbsp; Problem is this number seems a little high sometimes or the dealer just exaggerates the grade or doesn&#039;t take in consideration issues like if the coin had been cleaned.&nbsp; But I believe that I got a good deal like you said and know that a coin shop would charge $18+ for the coin if I had bought it there.&nbsp; I placed a bid for 50 cents more than the last guy on Ebay a few hours before closing but for some reason nobody bid.&nbsp; I thought this had something to do with the time it closed in the early morning hours the day before Memorial Day.</p><p><br /></p><p>I buy junk silver too but the seated I see close to melt are pretty beat.&nbsp; They are worn down to nothing with holes in them and stuff like that.&nbsp; I just bought 5 silver roosies for my Whitman book and 5 Mercury dimes at local PM dealer for $21.&nbsp; I also got a VG 1898 Barber quarter for $5 out of the junk bins.&nbsp; You can&#039;t beat that with silver prices being low.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
