wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 06/19/2009 3:26 pm Thanks guys , normally I wouldnt post the price paid , kinda tacky maybe..but theres a few of us early in our Bust coins and it might be a useful learning curve. If its a fair price for an uncleaned coin..its got me wondering whats a fair price for a cleaned one? I do appreciate both your comments lads , I do like it and as Elec Co points out I did accomplish what I set out to do , add a bust dime to the book.Im just uneasy about the cleaning thing. Ill await other opinions and value them , I'm going with Jbuck and Elec Co words and putting it in the book.Thanks guys Hahahaha no I wont ... I just found out a Bust dime wont fit in a Dansco dime book I should have known this from my bust half cos it didnt fit in a half dansco or airtite..happily I have a coins of the world dansco 7011 , itll go in there Edited by wetglaswegian 06/19/2009 3:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189340 Posts	Posted 06/19/2009 4:43 pm I have the opinion that if I cannot tell and have to ask someone, then I really do not care if a coin was cleaned or not. I care most about how a coin appeals to my own eyes. If I cannot see the cleaning, then I cannot let it bother me. Since I never intend to sell them, resale value is never a consideration. I will "overpay" for a coin if it is one that fits my collection and how I want it to look. As I move out of my modern coin comfort zone, my biggest concern is authenticity and avoiding the forged, faked, and otherwise modified coins.

wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 06/19/2009 5:19 pm Yikes...its fraught with hazards eh ? These are probably the best pictures.Its a wonder how the front does look like it might have been cleaned,yet the obverse doesn't. This has really been an excercise in defining what is cleaning Jbuck , what does it look like , whats fake toning..and gulp...fake coins.. Ive no reason to think its fake , I'm positive it isn't , I just want to be clear what it is I have,what to avoid or look for next time. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189340 Posts	Posted 06/19/2009 5:30 pm I have no reason to think it is a fake, either. Now, finding a Trade dollar for my 7070 is something that keeps me up at night!

wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 06/19/2009 5:53 pm Probably why I dabble in dimes and halfs Jbuck , I have some morgans but I dont know the first thing about them.Im like you , I dont intend selling , I never say never as I do like to upgrade sometimes. But for sheer taking a chance ..well..i just did something I thought id never do. Ive bid on a coin unseen.Odd as the seller has 100% glowing feedback and all rare coins , but they all had pics..this one didnt. Bidding was ridiculously low and I had the top bid with 9 secs to go and I quadrupled my bid and signed out. If I've won it and it is what the auction says..i can take the rest of the day off. 7 days no quibble money back and the best feedback I've seen for a small seller for a long time. Woo hoooooo I won it at my original bid , 7 day money back and impeccable feedback on some of the rarest coins. I paid it so with any luck ill have it in a day or two for judging.
