Would any body hazard a guess as to what the market value is now is, with the problems it has?

That would be a lesson to those novices who wish to clean coins. We were all newbies once.

if you think about it, it just makes your collection of non cleaned coins more valuable(fewer of them out there)

Of course if you don't have that coin yet it also makes it more expensive and that much less likely that you will ever be able to own one.

Who cleans a BU 89-CC Morgan? :(

Someone who doesn't know what they have. "Grandma left me this old silver dollar and I decided to sell it. It was awful dark so I shine it up for you." I see variations of that all the time

Well assuming it was MS to begin with, it might be worth F-12 money now. Maybe VG. I don't think I would go lower than that.

I have a question... I don't want to be the laughing stock, but for those of us that may not know, what are the tell tell signs that this was cleaned, aside from the owner mentioning it in the auction? Is it the scrape under the PL or the scrape over the bridge of her nose? Is is it more? I just want to know what makes this obvious.
Thanks
