KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 12/08/2012 6:16 pm Over time I have learned what to look for and can usually spot coins that have been cleaned or otherwise messed with. As I have worked my way back into the teens and twenties, I have been looking at mostly red/brown coins. Too much red or too shiny is usually just an automatic pass. It's hard to get that natural red/brown toned look with luster except naturally. I only buy when there are good pictures, a return policy and avoid certain sellers. I probably look at 50-100 listings a day using saved searches and maybe buy 1 or 2 a month. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff

kasey Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 12/08/2012 8:05 pm In my opinion, treat it as a raw coin as it is not graded by either of the two most respected grading companies. I would put more focus on what the actual coin looks like than what the holder says. The reason I say this is because the asking price would be alot more concrete if graded by NGC or PCGS. Being that its not, I would be a little harder on your own personal grading skills, especially when delineating between two mint states, and this is especially key when they jump. At least thats what I do.... Report this Post to the Staff
