terry8835 Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 01/21/2017 2:09 pm You know you can go on ebay and buy graded and slabbed common Morgans for the same price as Raw ones. If they are common I crack them out to add to my album. The more scarce ones I keep in their slabs. I have all but 2 of the Carson City Morgans and they are slabbed. I won't break them out. If I get a 1993CC or 1889CC in a slab that I won't break it out because if they are in AU or above they sell almost like money, heh,heh. Report this Post to the Staff

JasonB23 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/21/2017 9:13 pm I have a stupid question for coin197. How can you tell it was cleaned? Sorry if it's an obvious answer but I'm trying to learn as much as possible & telling cleaned coins is an area I need help in lol. Report this Post to the Staff

The luster is missing, so it's probably over-dipped, a form of abrasive cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
