joeysanders627 Valued Member United States 408 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 01:31 am There is this ebay seller who is claiming to auction a BU 1835 Capped Bust. Here is the listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1835-Capped...i=RTM2247625 Here is another one from another seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1835-Capped...162235522296 Seeing how hard it is to find this kind of quality of these coins on ebay, I am asking the CCF community if the claims made by these sellers are for real. Are they BU? Have the coins been cleaned? etc... Report this Post to the Staff

Jackpot777 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 03:25 am Both coins have been cleaned IMO. Great Southern Coins seems to have a reputation for selling cleaned and altered coins. Edited by Jackpot777 10/18/2016 03:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
joeysanders627 Valued Member United States 408 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 03:47 am I agree. They look way too "polished" compared to what is our there. Report this Post to the Staff

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 08:11 am Maregeo is small date/Large 5 variety, GSC is also large 5 variation, FYI both are cleaned and I would stay away from both and save towards a more problem free specimen. The first coin (margeo) is dipped a bit less than the GSC coin but still would not be righteously slabbed by a respected TPG. why else would you imagine that both sellers have what would be $300 coins if properly graded and attested to by major TPGs for $100? There are four active auctions right now on this coin at Stacks. Maybe dig for a few more dollars and get a legit piece? Is it in the budget? Report this Post to the Staff

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 1:55 pm I think they have been dipped, not cleaned (yes, they are mutually exclusive terms). I see plenty of luster on both coins, and I am having a hard time finding hairlines on either of them (though GSC takes pictures that hide hairlines). But BU? I doubt it.
