<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ghostrider, post: 44987, member: 2660&quot;]I&#039;m sure there would be no one who would consider cleaning a mint state coin, but is it more attractive and appealing to look at a circulated coin which is covered with who knows what, or a coin that has been carefully cleaned to remove the dirt and grime from the intricate areas and brings out the true beauty. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin has been in circulation, then it is a given that it has scratches and whatever, but once the circulated dirt is removed you may have scratches, but at least they are clean scratches.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I made this post in the first place was my daughter ask these questions and I thought this would be a good place to solicit feedback. She did have a point regarding the degeneration of the metal, and that was, once it is clean for a collection it should be preserved for future appreciation.
