<p>[QUOTE="VistaCruiser69, post: 3881391, member: 107016"]I definitely would have completely had it left alone if it wasn't for the hardened material fused to the surface of the adverse side of the coin. How I was looking at it was, it's already pretty damaged on that one side and perhaps more damage is hidden underneath the few MM's of hardened material. Since it's not a rare type of coin, I elected to have the materials removed. As I saw it, the coin before it was cleaned was face value (.50) or melt down. I don't plan to melt anything down, but just saying. After the material was cleaned off, still face value (.50) or melt down, thus no value loss or gain.</p><p> </p><p>Seriously I get why you never should clean up coins and I don't clean my coins. But this one was an the exception to the rule because of the condition it was in at the time I found it but most importantly because it's really not that valuable of a coin in a circulated and/or damaged condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
