Hello Coin People:
I have a "coin" that I found after the West Point Mint tested the Penny Presses we rebuilt in 1982. Long story for sure. Anyway, I did some electrical and lube system updates to those multiple presses. This coin was found months later in a concrete crack. Truly uncirculated, stamped and then fell into that crack.
Anyway some years ago (30+ years later) I refound it, and evidently subsequently polished it (Whoops), and put it in a plastic sleeve.
I have had it graded at PCGS, and they have graded it "Genuine Cleaned".
So, can anyone tell me how much money I lost shining this Pattern Coin?
Thank-you so much for any help!
Be Well All;
ddgaff

No one can tell you that, best to you Heritage coin auction sold archives to see if any details coins have sold lately. Try Great Collections as well.

Guys:
Just wondering, because my other pattern, unpolished, went for $5,906.25 on Great Auctions. I will drop them a note and ask them.
Thank-you all!
