NGC-Improperly Cleaned

Took the link. Strange place. :eek:

 

 

I did enjoy the video on the federal budget visualized in pennies though. :cool:

 

The one where the guy cuts the penny into quarters? That's a great illustration.

It is. When dealing with numbers in the stratosphere of the national debt and the Budget, it is beyond our full understanding and props like the pennies really drives the point home in ways we can understand.

There is no single answer. As BadThad stated, it is about the marketplace. If people want to buy a cleaned coin, they will buy it at their price. A good rule of thumb is that the higher the value of the coin is, (without problems) the lower the percentage of value reduction. A $60 coin will roughly be worth 10% original value to a dealer, and 20% on retail. A $20,000 coin (real example- 1856 FE cent) will be roughly worth 65% retail, and a dealer's price should reflect his opinions of the value and easyness to sell.

 

Hope this helps

Also... there is currently a collectible market for coins encapsulated in NCS holders. Save them, don't cross them over ;)
