This is my experience with cleaned coins. I sold a few 90% kennedy halves a while back. Some were dirty circulated, some were chemically dipped, which appeared BU. I confessed to my dealer that I had dipped some of them. He kept the dipped coins seperate to sell at a premium.DAS7NY said:JJTheisen said:it will clean up very well though.
First, with coins you NEVER, (I repeat) NEVER, want to clean them. It only brings down the value. I'm assuming because you found it in circulation it is somewhere between F, VF, and XF. According to the latest issue of Coins (Which by the way is High retail pricing. So this is a little higher than what it's worth. If you want a really good price guide, subscribe to the grey sheet. It's whole sale, and tells you what to buy coins for, and what to sell them for. It's great if your buying coins to flip em' or as an investment.) it is anywhere from $5.80, to $6.20, to $10.00. Hope that helps! Happy Hunting!
I use a product called "Conniseur's" silver jewelry cleaner. 10-15 second dip, rinse w/warm water, then lightly buff.alabamadan said:What did you dip them in?
