OrDirtDevil Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 8:58 pm Found 1852 Silver 3 cent in my collection trying to decide which coins needed slabbed. What do you think, is it a repunch, DD or mechanical. Is it worth getting slabbed.

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 10:08 pm I would say No for slabbing based solely on the fact that it was cleaned and I'm pretty sure there is a nice fingerprint on the reverse. If at all possible Never hold the coins on the sides. Only hold them by the edges and wear cotton gloves if you have them Secondly never ever clean the coins. If it's toned or has something on it sometimes it's best to leave be. Even a simple wipe from a cloth can damage the coin under magnification. ANACS will be the only TPG that would slab this coin. Anyone else and it will be body bagged. *** As for the DD...I'm not sure and don't want to give an answer. Prethen is our local 3C expert so I'd wait for his response as well as others.

Reason for the slabbing question was solely for authenicating it as a variety type coin. I agree about never handling coins without gloves also. Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 07/16/2007 10:50 pm I thought NGC would not slab cleaned or damaged coins...but I could be wrong as I frequently am Report this Post to the Staff

lonnie Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 07/17/2007 06:50 am For authentication, I would send it to ANACS. They will grade it and also note on holder that coin has been cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
