<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverhouse, post: 1428758, member: 29452&quot;]I once had a coin shop tell me that collectors prefer dipped coins and in some cases cleaned.&nbsp; I just let him talk and decided not to take my coins into him.&nbsp; The last thing I want any coin shop or dealer do is clean my perfectly original non cleaned coin, or dip it to get the toning off.&nbsp; He also said most collectors hate toning.&nbsp; The coin in question is my&nbsp; GSA&nbsp; 1883CC Morgan.&nbsp; I was silently awestruck as he told me all that he would do to my coin.&nbsp; I understand in some series one may not be able to get around a cleaned specimen.&nbsp; But to me a true collector wouldn&#039;t want a dipped or cleaned coin, whether done professionally or not.&nbsp; There are exceptions to the rule of course.&nbsp; As I said, if said specimen one was trying to get was only available for the most part cleaned.&nbsp; Either that or willing to pay some high prices for original untouched ones.&nbsp; I myself prefer uncleaned coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
