<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2030756, member: 26302&quot;]Numismatically, what most people mean by a cleaned coin is IMPROPERLY cleaned. A properly cleaned coin will have no trace it was ever cleaned. An improperly cleaned one will have scratches or other evidence of cleaning.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That 64 does not look cleaned. However, the exact same coin if it were a 1818 capped bust half would at least at first glance be expected to be cleaned. Why? Because its almost impossible to keep silver from toning that long. Upon further inspection, its almost assured the 1818 would show cleaning scratches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
