<p>[QUOTE="Coinguy56, post: 1091256, member: 27133"]Dirty is better than cleaned, indeed for sure. But when your talking corrosion eating into the coin, and or pvc damage, etc. You should really look into that. Now if it was like dirt in the details or something, the coin is dark, I would leave it that. But when it comes to damage like that, if left untreated, it could ruin the coin forever. So a cleaned penny is better with more value than a penny that is ruined because of pvc or corrosion. I recently got burned on a Heritage auction, (yes I said Heritage) auction a few months ago on a Matte Proof cent with PVC damage, I made a stupid mistake and cracked it out and sent it to NGC for re-grade because I thought it could receive a higher grade. But it was body-bagged due to pvc. I sent it in to NCS to have it conserved and re-graded. I hope it can be saved, because I have over $550 in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
