<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1294560, member: 112&quot;]fizzy, a coin being said to have been harshly cleaned can be the result of doing something as simple as somebody rubbing the coin with a soft cloth.

That&#039;s why coin collectors quit using coin cabinets - it was because the velvet lining in the coin cabinets would scratch up the coins every time the drawers were opened and closed.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it doesn&#039;t matter how it happened, it only matters that it happened. Coins with marks like that on them are called harshly cleaned. Even if nobody ever tried to clean it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
