I'm sure your MS68 is all original surfaces, do you disagree? Quote: if I'm not sure whether a coin is cleaned then I pass on it yes, I generally agree. I typically skip it or ask about it here. I did just buy a 1923-S Mercury dime that had some cleaning but it was higher grade, the cleaning didn't look too harsh in the photos, and, maybe most importantly, I got it for a price around five times lower than it would have likely gone for otherwise. I'll likely post some photos in a new thread after I get it this week. As has been discussed elsewhere, some cleaned coins can "recover" and become "market acceptable" over time.

one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 01/27/2019 10:43 pm Thanks, I skipped all these. More interested to understand why they look the way they do than to actually bid on them. The 1919-D and -S had great details, but the flat lackluster surfaces concerned me (or maybe this seller is just horrible at coin photography (or both)). Here's the final tally, seems to me all 4 went for right around market prices. Report this Post to the Staff
