<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1138813, member: 29643&quot;]Wouldn&#039;t this depend upon &quot;how&quot; it was cleaned? I mean, if a coin is cleaned by dunking it in a hypothetical bath of solvent that wouldn&#039;t affect the metal, wouldn&#039;t it appear cleaner than expected without any actual evidence of cleaning? The issue lies in the coin being polished, I think. That would make it ungradable due to an altered surface. Also, polish would remove some of the silver, so you would have less than $2.70 in silver content. I&#039;ve always viewed cleaned coins as basically PO1.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
