Hey Error,
For what it is worth, I was in Laurel, De. at an auction about a month ago and there was an 1876 (I believe) Trade dollar in ef-40 condition. Anyway,it had obviously been run thru my mothers Maytag. It went over $400 with a 15 percent buyers fee to boot. Place was full of collectors and dealers and there was a whole lot of bidding going on. Heck yes, it would have been nice if it was natural but the cleaning sure did not hurt it. Enjoy your coin. When you are ready to sell, send it to Delaware and reap the profit. I also believe that ebay and the like is expanding the number of new collectors exponentially and supply and demand is making coins we would turn our nose at previously valuable.

When you jump in, you jump with both feet!!

I know the retorike about not buying problem coins, but.....when I can buy a lightly cleaned coin at a discount, I will do it every time. Having said that, I hate harshly cleaned coins....But lightly cleaned and retoned....I'm there. I feel like I get more meat on the coin that way. What fun is it to have a 7070 and not having any details on the coins.

Errorcoins,
All those coins look very nice. But dang, you sure like to spend a lot. I would think if you sold those coins and had them end on a Saturday or Sunday I bet you would get your money back and possibly more...
Good things,
Ty

I go nuts when I get something new, like the 7070 Album. That's the main reason I'm (trying) to stay away from ebay "type" coins for now (the next day or so) but not errrors of course.

It's not that I'm spending a lot, I really shouldn't. It's more like I am trading some coins for others. I have sold and am selling extra error coins on ebay to cash up for the next purchase.

I had and still have a ton of bu bisons that coinstar eats up very quickly. All of those coin get searched for errors first of course. I was also holding them because the metal value is worth more than a nickel, but that's kinda mute now. I think I would rather have a nice real Trade dollar in my book than 200 dollar worth of nickels.

Now back to ebay to seach for type coins .... errr I mean error coins.

WOW! I got the Trade dollar today and it's a very nice coin. Whoever lightly cleaned this coin saved me about 300 on a type coin of this quality. The details are AWESOME. There is still some mint luster where the cleaning didn't get to.

I"m very happy with this "cleaned" coin.

Can't bust it out until my daughter gets to see it.

1807 Half Cent appears to be uncleaned and is one awesome 200 year old coin. VERY, very pleased.

3 cent has awesome details but lightly cleaned as expected.

well, back to the type coin seach
