Key Factors Determining the Buyback Price of Old Coins: Condition and Appraisal Standards

A common mistake made by many novice collectors is to wipe or chemically clean silver coins to make them look newer. As we strongly remind:"Do not wipe, bump, or abrade silver dollars, or their value will depreciate!"The original historical patina is the best proof of a silver coin's authenticity and age. Whether it'sunslabbed raw coin buybacksorold coins in PCGS/NGC international graded holders, condition is always the primary factor determining the final transaction price.
