gpnyc Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Here's a good example. Seller states "Looks like this was probably cleaned a long time ago." Ya think? I don't think the seller is trying to fool anyone yet why not just state the obvious? This coin was cleaned with steel wool, and it wasn't a long time ago. Sand-blasted SLQ I know I'm being picky but it annoys me when I click through to an auction descibing a coin as "VF" and I see that! /end rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Not quite as bad as the RARE tag that they shove on everything though LOL but that looks like it has been under a sander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drusus Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I seldom care if a coin has been cleaned...but even I would touch that...I think that coin looks like they scrubbed with a steel brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBobo Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hmmm, it looks like someone actually tried to polish a coin using the rock tumbler method... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyd Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Came through this time -- looks like it's been both dipped (black re-oxidation spots) and whizzed (visible striation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
