Titles are Important! * I hate that people clean coins, takes most of the value away but sadly you run into them quite frequently. I have the opportunity to purchase an 1870 pick-axe fs-303 Indian cent at a local shop. The owner doesn't know it's a pick axe variety but agrees with me that it' appears it may have been cleaned due to its coloring. Couldn't take a picture of it in his shop but it's RB and between Very Fine and Extra Fine. It's been bothering me cause it's like a tainted treasure sitting there. What would you guys consider paying for something like that? Report this Post to the Staff
