<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SorenCoins, post: 3627912, member: 73708&quot;]Generally, yes- it does matter. Proper cleaning in forms of restoration such as that offered by services like NCS (<a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/ncs-conservation/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/ncs-conservation/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/ncs-conservation/</a>) don&#039;t clean a coin necessarily to give it the appearance of a higher grade, as much as they just remove tarnish that may be undesirable. Improper cleaning however, such as someone polishing junk silver, whizzing coins, or cleaning with a toothbrush are done to give a more circulated coin a newer appearance, often. Even TPG services dip coins into a little soapy water solution sometimes before they encase it. So I feel that the line is between properly cleaning something, and improperly cleaning it. In my opinion, there are very few forms of cleaning that I would consider proper and I would rather buy a coin with original surfaces than one that has been altered or cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
