<p>[QUOTE=&quot;toned_morgan, post: 3329183, member: 97258&quot;]Cleaning is such a sin in the coin community because it drastically lowers the value of the coin. Here is the same date coin in the same grade, but one is cleaned, the other is not. That&#039;s a $695 difference for cleaning... So yeah don&#039;t clean your coins unless they&#039;re of no real value and it is for learning. It&#039;s always good to know what a cleaned coin looks like versus an uncleaned coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>NOT cleaned</p><p>[ATTACH=full]882008[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cleaned</p><p>[ATTACH=full]882009[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cleaned coins usually have poor details but seem to shine &quot;brightly&quot;. If you have a loupe, then you can also see faint lines all pointing in one direction. The coin below has very mushy detail in the hair and you can see obvious lines and scratches all pointing horizontally. Also, it looks very glossy and disgusting, which is the result of cleaning. So basically, just NEVER CLEAN COINS FOR ANYTHING OR WITH ANYTHING!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]882012[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
