LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1188 Posts	Posted 03/16/2015 3:19 pm I received these coins from ebay. At first I thought they were cleaned because there are some small scratches however detail in the hair, crown, etc looks good. When I've got other cleaned coins they typically have a lot of tiny scratches where these just have some scratches but it doesn't necessarily look like the coin was scrubbed. I'm just wondering if these got scratched while in someones pocket or if the seller tried to pull a fast one and sold me cleaned coins. Do these scratches completely kill the condition? Thanks.

LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1188 Posts	Posted 03/16/2015 3:33 pm That is kind of what I was leaning towards too. I don't have much (if any) experience grading coins. With these it's disappointing because I can see every hair line, crown detail, etc so they look really good but some of them have quite a few of these scratches. I just wasn't sure how much of a hit that takes on the condition. I will say the CND silver dollar is a nice looking coin though.. too bad my "mixed date" lot is all 64's and 65's!
