<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jrpaint62, post: 652036, member: 19896&quot;]It always matters regardless of value or grade.I think there is a criminal element (even when unintended)&nbsp; involved with cleaning&nbsp; or &quot;doctoring&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; coins.Eventually, most coins get traded or sold.Who knows how many newbe&#039;s to our hobby have been discouraged this way.If your honest,great! The folks that buy it after its resold may not be and the problem goes on, Rarities should not be an exception. NCS and ANACS will grade and holder a problem coin. I never knowingly buy or sell&nbsp; a cleaned or problem coin regardless of rarity.Ebay is a good example. Enlarge what looks like a cleaned or&nbsp; problem coin,read the sellers item description.&nbsp; 90% of these guys with long winded descriptions, not a word about an obvious cleaning.etc. etc. Yes, cleaning ALWAYS devalues a coin even if it was covered with crap.&nbsp; Please dont contribute to the coin doctoring trade by cleaning or altering any coin period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
