    Cleaned coins
    I recently sent in 4 coins all Washington Quarters (1932D, 1932S, 1932S, and 1936D). I suspected one coin of being cleaned but not all of them. All came back details graded. 3 XF details and 1 AU Details with 3 Improperly Cleaned and 1 OBV Scratch. Guess I need to learn how to spot a cleaned coin before I buy them and send them off to be graded. Any tips on spotting cleaned coins? I have a 30X21 loupe as well as a Dinolite Microscope and am waiting to get these back so I can inspect and compare them to quarters I have graded already to see the differences.

    A find in a shop while on vacation
    Looking through a box in a shop while on vacation I found a hidden treasure. A 1899-P Morgan dollar toned in at least AU. See pic below. Going to send it in for certification and will have less than $50 in the coin counting certification fees. One happy collector here unless it gets details graded. Will post the grade when I get it back. Glad I packed my collecting habit in my suitcase.

    Got the 1899 P Morgan back from grading.
    The 1899 P Morgan Dollar that I picked up in a shop while on vacation is on it's way back to me. Coming back AU Details - Stained. Certification is 2583999-004 and the pics are up on NGC. I will take it since I got such a good deal on the coin.
