BamaBlue Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 07/02/2013 6:31 pm Portland, Oregon. Congratulations! EVERY TIME I go on ebay to look for a Mercury dime, I am baraged with postings from a company in Portland, Oregon (I won't mention it here) that sells exclusively cleaned Mercury dimes. They don't admit the coins are cleaned... there is a vague reference to grade (e.g., high grade) and a disclaimer in the description that the coins are more than 50 years old and you can expect that they have been cleaned at some point. They must be doing a great business... they have by far the most variety of Mercury dimes on ebay; and they are ALL cleaned and spit polished.

BamaBlue Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 07/03/2013 09:40 am I've been looking for a way to block them... I'm open for suggestions from ebay experts. I have to wonder if this is kind of sales approach is the vanguard of change? Are coin dealers going to start turning circulated common date coins and polish them to look pretty?

Almost looks like they polish them like the guy does in that YouTube video with the Kennedy half dollars.
