lincolncollector Valued Member United States 373 Posts	Posted 09/15/2008 7:24 pm I was wondering if this coin had been cleaned. Any feedback would be appreciated. Image: 1858O.jpg 55.06 KB Image: 1858-O.jpg 42.01 KB Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 09/15/2008 8:14 pm it's a real shame. The coin has AU details but has been harshly cleaned as stated. This will affect the value substantially. At least 20-30% swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
lincolncollector Valued Member United States 373 Posts	Posted 09/15/2008 8:21 pm The coin should still be worth about $140. I paid $55 for it. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 09/15/2008 8:36 pm $55. You did okay my friend. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
JonS.7070 Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 09/15/2008 8:37 pm I probably would have bought it for that price, keep it in your pocket for a while and let it wear off the whizzing? Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 09/15/2008 8:39 pm Just don't forget it's in there and drop $3.00 in change in your pocket. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
