<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 172584, member: 112&quot;]First of all, it makes a difference in what kind of cleaning was done. If the coin was wiped with a cloth your idea might work. But if the coin was over-dipped - your idea wouldn&#039;t work. </p><p><br /></p><p>You see, the damage done by a cloth can leave tell tale hairlines and light scratches which would indicate the cleaning. But that might not necessarily destroy the mint luster. Over-dipping a coin on the other hand would destroy the mint luster. And for a coin to grade as XF45 or higher, there has to be mint luster on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if carrying the coin in your pocket for a while effectively removed the traces of cleaning, but yet did not remove the remaining mint luster - you&#039;d have a shot at getting the coin graded. Of course it would probably be quite difficult to do one without doing the other as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
