If there is a graded coin up for bid , please go with the grade on the coin. If the coin is raw then Then keep in mind any coin may have been cleaned in its past life ( I NEVER CLEAN A COIN , NEVER! ) All coins are treated as if that are mint state when I receive them I have the utmost respect for coins and any paper currency that comes across my desk. Above all I am a coin collector with great respect for the hobby . if there is any questions you have please feel free to contact me through Ebay . Thank you MAUREEN AND Don
