    A lot of coins that are artificially toned are toned to cover up a cleaning, and that seems to be a lesson the video creator learned here.

    I sent an AU53 coin in with what appeared to be a liquid stain over nice original golden toning. It came back blast fission white. Not how an AU53 should look. I wish they took the time to warn me and I would've lived with the stain.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I watched that this am, he scored on the proof indian. I am not sure what posses him to send in a cleaned coin for conservation, cleaned is cleaned, conservation usually wont rectify that

    Also an Unc cleaned Bust half late date is not worth a thousand, other price estimates I see him making seem to be extremely unlikely. Problem coins are hard to sell.

    Thank you, Ben. That is a very interesting post. May I ask ... what was your recording apparatus?
