vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 8:57 pm I agree with AU cleaned. AU55 sounds about right. No, very common date. Just put it in a holder yourself and enjoy. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
buggs Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 9:09 pm Thanks everyone for the piece of mind. I have decided to post the coin collection I inherited on ebay and start over gearing more to specific coins. Dont know what that is yet but feel it will be fun.Being new and ignorant to the coin hobby wanted to make sure I wasn't making a mistake. Thanks again Edited by buggs 07/04/2011 10:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 10:56 pm it looks more buffed than cleaned but I agree with Au details on this one. I can't think of any light that would make the devices shiny like that unless there has been some polishing going on with a rag or some other polishing device Report this Post to the Staff
buggs Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 07/04/2011 11:08 pm Since the collection had belonged to my grandfather and I believe he purchased it that way. Was sitting in a sleeve and I removed it to take the pics. Way back then I don't believe he thought cleaning was a big no-no like it is today. Report this Post to the Staff

Back then, everybody thought that way. Well, almost everybody. Before you drop everything and liquidate your inheritance on ebay, take the time to ensure you know exactly what you're selling. There may be key dates or varieties amongst them with significant added value. Report this Post to the Staff
