<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2448643, member: 1892&quot;]Welcome to CT. Cleaning <b>does not</b> increase &quot;eye appeal,&quot; and <b>does not</b> increase grade. It is <i>universally</i> considered damage, and drastically reduces both interest and value in the coin. Originality/preservation is <b>key</b> in numismatics. Cleaning the coin would only make it look &quot;better&quot; to the uninformed. Whose ranks we are in the process of pulling you from. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This issue is not a particularly common one, and it carries a numismatic premium even into circulated grades. I see a little circulation on yours, and would estimate the grade to be in the EF45-AU50 range. As such, its&#039; value - if authenticated and encapsulated by a reputable third-party grader - would be around $800 at retail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
