raybutler Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 01:02 am Hello, I've got a question; This 1925 Standing Liberty quarter I just purchased appears to have good detail, but not good enough to be this clean. Was this coin cleaned? Recently? If so, can it be graded? Thank you in advance. Edited by raybutler 04/01/2013 02:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 07:48 am there's a lot of washout on the lighting but it looks dipped to me define recently - if you mean in the past decade, I'd say yes if dipped, it will wind up in a problem labeled holder as cleaned. It will, and already has, a severe reduction in market value as a cleaned coin. did you get that on the bay by chance? Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 08:21 am I agree that this coin looks cleaned even though the pic leaves a lot to be desired in terms of quality. Report this Post to the Staff

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 2:40 pm I figured. Raybutler, its your choice as to the kinds of coins you want to collect. I would never judge one another to a place where its destructive criticism but I can tell you that you're far better off not buying five problem coins and pooling that money for one problem free coin. In the end you'll be happier and fall more along the lines of having a serious collection (again IMO) I have handled his coins about a year ago and I can tell you that this quarter is going to be dull and lifeless as the entire outer layer of silver sulfide has been stripped and will not come back, ever. This coin, unless artificially manipulated, will never tone or color. I hope you realize my opinion is not meant to make you feel bad or insult you. I wish I could pour genuine emotion into email so its not mistaken for harsh wording. Report this Post to the Staff
raybutler Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 3:32 pm That sucks, It was the only one I could find with full shield and good details. I got burned on this one and it's probably worth less than my worn but toned 1926-D. I'm attempting to cancel the order, if he agrees. I really need to do my homework on cleaned/polished coins.

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 4:34 pm what was his price? here are some examples of what you can get by pooling your money as suggested previously: look at this first one http://www.ebay.com/itm/1925-Standi...em35c27b6cc3 a bit pricey here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1925-Standi...em5d3ba5c811 really budget for the eye appeal, few environmental marks but a great coin for the money IMO: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1925-Standi...em460a089aaf want slabbed? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1925-Standi...em2c68512e48 you see the point - take your time, look around, MOST IMPORTANT BE PATIENT...the "one" will present itself eventually. And you get hit in the head with the proverbial meteorite before you ever get the coin, hey, more inheritance for the kids! Report this Post to the Staff
raybutler Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 4:54 pm The price was $34.00 but I got the refund so no problem. I'll take your advice and be more patient in the future. I really like the third one, for the price, I'm going to look a little though, I've learned my lesson. As always, I get great advice from you, I really appreciate it.

52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8517 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 6:54 pm Ha, I just checked, it was the boys up in PDX. They have like three entire pages of bad juju, 67 negative feedbacks. Not to mention all the neutrals. Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff
raybutler Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 7:44 pm 52Raymo - I just checked and you are right 67 negatives and a bunch of neutrals. I didn't check the individual feedbacks, I just saw the 99.6% rating and thought that was good. I'll start checking the responses on those high volume sellers. Thanks, I'm getting an education about ebay. Here is a 1926-D quarter that I've had for awhile, do you think it's good or AG? Does the toning help the value?
