<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1463316, member: 37356&quot;]It states in the description of the coin I provided a link to that the coin has been polished which is a problem coin.&nbsp; I would consider that coin to have more problems than my coin does since it states in the description the coin is polished and it has been made white-faced not to mention the coin has significant wear. You can&#039;t really tell from an Internet post who knows what but I have seen coins with more problems than mine going for more.&nbsp; I certainly don&#039;t need a perfect coin and realize that many coins this old have been cleaned and that does detract from the price but not nearly what people are stating.&nbsp; In the one guide the &quot;good&quot; coin looks like it has significantly more wear than my coin but do to cleaning this coin may be downgraded.&nbsp; I personally downgrade when issues are presented to me but realize some people do not.&nbsp; The coin study guide also appears old and often guides like this list coins far below melt.&nbsp; I do know coin shop prices and seated coins are significantly more than other coin types and they may discount due to issues but sometimes they don&#039;t.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am not saying this coin hadn&#039;t been cleaned in its lifetime, but as someone else mentioned, not recently.&nbsp; It could have been cleaned 50-100 years ago.&nbsp; Of course though if I sold the coin directly to someone else I would get more where a dealer needs to make a profit but would never go lower than what I paid since it is worth at the very least that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
