Of course no price list for "dug" coins exist. I have been a coin collector since I was 10 years old, and I know that fact as well as you. It proves nothing. The number of ground-found, higher-grade old silver coins is quite small compared to the number of examples in collectors' hands. So why would there be any need to have a price listing for them
But to say every "dug" silver coin, unless it is a key or semi-key, is practically worthless is a gross overstatement that you should recant. If they were only worth 25% of bluebook in many cases, these higher-grade "dug" silver coins have a value well above melt. Do you not agree with that statement??!! So if we harshly field-clean or spit-clean them, we will reduce their value--and that is my whole point.
I won't be replying to this thread any more. I posted some information in a helpful manner and I don't wish to be attacked any more for it.
