I rarely do pawn shops, but this one is a little out of the way and I just happened to be in the neighborhood. "You got any coins?" I asked. After pulling out a few of the usual common date Morgans and Peace Dollars, he lays out a few 2 X 2's that he says he just got in a few days ago. I bought all 5. Included was an 1834 Capped Bust 25c in VF+, an 1838 Capped Bust Half in XF45+, an 1875S 20cent piece in VF, an 1856 Seated Lib 25C in VF and the following 1857 Flying Eagle Cent. What do you think??

looks like a decent AU possibly up to AU55.

Except the pawn shops in Marty's area where they sell rolls of circulated Morgans for $160 that have VF35 1893-S's in them.

<< <i>Sorry, Images are done with a scanner. Definately not cleaned. I paid $50 for the group. I'll get an image of the Capped Bust Half up shortly. >>
!!!!!!!!!!! ........... $50 ............. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU SUCK !!!!!!!
<< <i>I'm not sure how someone can say that coin looks cleaned with such a small dull picture. >>
I can say it looks cleaned because IMO, it DOES look cleaned with that particular image. It looks dull, washed out and mostly devoid of luster. Maybe a better picture would convince me otherwise. But with *that picture* it LOOKS cleaned because of the washed-out, somewhat lifeless appearance.
I hope I'm wrong.
[Edited to add: Ah, I read a little lower into the thread -- a scanner picture. That explains it. $50 for the bunch is a major rip -- that's about what the FE cent would be worth *by itself* if it WERE cleaned. Nice score! Maybe I ought to go to pawn shops more often.]
