mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 02/12/2018 5:41 pm So I bought two 8 Reale cap & Ray coins from APMEX. One of them is AU without a doubt. The other, I can't tell if it was struck that way, or strangely worn on one edge. It also looks cleaned, but I could be wrong. What are your opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 02/12/2018 6:03 pm I mostly just needed the "it's been cleaned" from someone. I called APMEX and told them the issue and looks like I can send it back for a replacement. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/12/2018 6:15 pm Do so, but there are more of these cleaned, than not. The strike was off to the east, resulting in that area near the west edge that appears "unfinished". Report this Post to the Staff
mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 02/12/2018 6:59 pm That's kind of what I figured about the "unfinished" date. Usually APMEX will put in the title whether you are buying cleaned or not. Cleaned was not mentioned at all on these, just 8 Reale Cap & Rays AU. I'm not trying to diss APMEX or anything, I like the company and am pretty sure they make it right with their customers. I was disappointed on getting a cleaned a coin. This is one of the reasons I prefer buying in person as apposed to online. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 02/12/2018 7:06 pm I have had better luck with ebay than APMEX. APMEX will sometimes show a photo of a random coin instead of the exact one you will get. I have purchased coins on APMEX that they claim are AU or MS, but instead are polished or cleaned. I'm not trying to say APMEX is bad, just saying that I prefer ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
