Stunet Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 07/03/2010 1:39 pm I have sent many of my father's silver dollars off to be graded and discovered he was rooked. A good percentage of coins he thought were BU had been cleaned or were deemed Damage or Toolings. I had them slabbed anyway. When I sell these guys on ebay, what would be better, leave them in the slab, or take them out and clearly explain in the description what the coin's imperfection is? Report this Post to the Staff

Stunet Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 07/03/2010 4:24 pm He bought most of his coins in the 70's and 80's. We kept pretty good records. My favorite is a Proof-like "Diving Goose" Canadian Dollar that was $125 and now worth about $3000. Many were labeled GEM-BU, but came back from PCGS as cleaned. He collected Canadian coins and I collect US. Our collections are now merged. I am selling off many of the Canadian coins. I have learned a lot from you guys on this form. I can tell now when there are cleaning scratches. Often they show up when I photograph the coin but are not apparent under my Loupe. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/03/2010 5:15 pm Chances are then that he made a lot of money on the draped busts though, because those are worth vastly more now than in the 70s. Or maybe I'm wrong. Can you list how much he paid for a few of the US coins? Report this Post to the Staff
