SilverTracker Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 05/13/2013 4:19 pm I found these IHC's on ebay and it so irrates me to see them cleaned just to get them sold to people who are unaware of the effect of the numismatic value drop on them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1891-INDIAN...em589f97d255 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1906-indian...em3cd18e2fe7 Just to name a few.

I do agree though a good number of those are sold to people who just cant see it or dont know Report this Post to the Staff
NicolasO New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/13/2013 5:34 pm Anyone buying coins on ebay is (for the most part) looking to find a bargain, as are most ebay shoppers. Cleaned, scratched, or otherwise damaged coins (especially those of key/semi-key dates) often bring a pretty penny due to the large amount of bidders looking to fill their albums for a bit of a discount. I find this to be the case most of the time. However, as others have mentioned, too often do we see sellers that intend to take advantage of the uninformed. Nicolas Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 05/17/2013 6:04 pm There are so many cleaned IHC's on ebay, It's astounding. What gets me are all the cleaned higher grade (but not MS) being hawked as BU red, it's a shame. Report this Post to the Staff
