<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 88363, member: 3011&quot;]Ruben,</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a failure of the hobby [in my opinion] not to have encouraged a market for cleaned coins at discounted prices instead of treating them as numismatically worthless.&nbsp; Many third party grading companies won&#039;t even slab them as &quot;cleaned.&quot;&nbsp; Some dealers, such as Harlan Berk, sell raw cleaned coins, listed as such.&nbsp; So maybe an estimate can be derived from the pricing policies used there.&nbsp; There is no direct answer to your questions because there is no robust market for cleaned coins.&nbsp; Everyone has to decide for themselves what an adequate discount is.&nbsp; I&#039;ve purchased a few cleaned Morgan and Peace dollars for prices close enough to bullion value to make them worth owning -- to me, but perhaps not to someone else.&nbsp; In the absence of an active market in cleaned coins, it becomes a matter of personal preference and judgement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
