<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 576170, member: 4552&quot;]Regardless of what any one says, coin magazine reports and/or articles, this or other web sites, etc. this is my opinion. Since I go to about 2 to 4 coin shows a Month, visit coin stores in the area, I find one thing in common. If a coin is cleaned and is noticable, the prices are lower. Not sometimes, not occationally, almost always lower if cleaned. At some of these coin shows I&#039;ve seen coins full of crud and no one would think of cleaning them. If they did, the prices would drop considerably. </p><p>This is one reason I sometimes search for cleaned coins due to the ability to haggle the prices down even lower. Maybe in some areas or some instances some people have attempted to sell a cleaned coin for more than an original looking one but just not around me. </p><p>When anyone even mentions cleaning coins I usually try to tell them to watch that TV show The Antique Road Show. I really love it when they tell someone that if you hadn&#039;t of cleaned this it would have been worth a fortune. </p><p>I&#039;ve spent many hours experimenting on practically valueless coins for cleaning as experimentations but to clean a valuable coin? Just got to hand it to those people on that TV show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
