Well if he was scared off, at least he has more knowledge about his dealer ripping him off! Definitely stay away from that dealer lol.

Well I am unable to post the pictures do to bad quality BUT I can get better pictures this weekend. The coins look legit I paid 9 bucks for the 3 cent peice and very reasonable prices on the others He is NGC and PCGS certified but I'm afraid he cleans them, I have 2 proofs from him and they have no scratches on them what so ever. I never paid more then 30 bucks on a coin from him unless it was my chinese pandas. I'm not to fond of the whole cleaning thing so I'm not sure

Don't send in any of those coins to be graded. I think your just buying coins to have more of a veriety in your collection, which is good. But they are not worth much. Enjoy them and learn about them first. Then buy something more worthwhile to be graded.

Post the pictures of the ones you want to send. If you have a scanner you can just use that as taking pictures of coins is not easy. However I am slowly learning from the photography section.
And WELCOME to the forum.

What year is the 3-cent piece? Can you try posting a photo or scan of it?

1856 is a great year for a Three Cent Silver. It's part of the scarcer Type II series. I'd love to see pictures! |

I am no pro but I think cleaning is definitely a high possibility. Look at the dark area between the star points and between the I's in III. I could be wrong tho as I am not an expert by any means

it might have been not sure, I have alot of coins were they looked like they have been cleaned but they weren't lke a morgan I got had build up aroudn edges and stuff but it was from my great grandfather and he took it straight from the bank roll and saved it for someone down the generation line. I dont know the 3 cnt could have been cleaned though

That's a very nice 3 cent piece. It does look like it has a few old hairlines, but unless I'm missing something it has a pleasing tone and would nestle well into a mid-grade type collection--like mine   |
