david29 Valued Member United States 432 Posts	Posted 09/07/2012 9:22 pm I agree VF details cleaned for the 03-o, The 1911 looks cleaned also. Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 09/07/2012 9:30 pm Thanks for hte input! But what makes you think that they have been cleaned? Just the coloring? Honestly, the 1903 is darker in hand. However, might the 1911 have artificial toner on it? Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 09/07/2012 9:33 pm for me I see rub on the obverse consistent with cleaning on the obverse on both...it could be the pics...different lighting an repost maybe...if you got an aggressive buy and your happy they will fill out the album nicely...

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 09/07/2012 10:07 pm dsfreeworld- Thanks! Good to know that this was a good deal. Out of curiosity, about how much would you value these even if they have a net grade? Report this Post to the Staff

FMV is $3 on the '11 and $7 on the '03 but silver close today puts your buy below spot so intrinsic value is your BFF right now numismatic speaking, you paid what they are worth IF they are in fact cleaned and a details grade i think you rocked for $2 brother Report this Post to the Staff
