<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 546635, member: 4552&quot;]Absolutely. Cleaned is just cleaned. Polished is what people do to make coins look like a proof. Dipping is usually not tagged as cleaned or polished but that too depends on how much dipping, dipping in what, etc. </p><p>Some time ago I purchased POLISHED coins purposely to see if I could make them almost look normal. Forgot to post photos of them as they were. Back about 02/15 or there about I posted photos of them after several treatments. Last Sunday at a coin show I purchased a Buffalo Nickel that was POLISHED, not cleaned, just polished. Appears with that proof looking image. Tomorrow I will photo that and then start the same process of trying to get it back to normal. </p><p>To sum it up YES, saying cleaned if polished is wrong. Polished coins are really horrible. I&#039;ve purchased many cleaned coins that were noted as cleaned. In many instances it is difficult to notice a slight cleaning. </p><p>No such thing as a <b>slightly</b> polished coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
