johnny676767 Pillar of the Community United States 521 Posts	Posted 02/14/2015 5:38 pm Ok, got it. Thanks everyone. I really appreciate these replies when I post coins. It helps me learn a lot, and the ones I post are usually rejected, so y'all have saved me a bunch of money. Cheers! Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 02/14/2015 6:18 pm When you have coins that are cleaned, dipped or otherwise ugly you need to ask yourself "Is this coin a good fit for my collection?". In my opinion this coin is too ugly for my collection. I'd prefer a lower grade coin that looks great but that's just me. A lot of times when I see a problem coin I ask myself "Would I be proud to post this coin on the Post Your Most Recent Purchase thread?" If not I pass. Report this Post to the Staff
