<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Harpagon coins, post: 2588769, member: 71578&quot;]As Ksorbo said, and I&#039;ll expand, the European market wouldn&#039;t even bother mentioning the cleaning from what I see. A very nice piece. Within the US mindset a cleaned coin is sub tier as you know. I don&#039;t believe personally that it should be considered so. Too many coins out there have been cleaned, toned, re-cleaned and re-toned that it depends on the eye of the beholder. As an investment coin, it won&#039;t draw much demand from US collectors or those prone to value TPG judgement. I&#039;ve heard some traders buying slabbed and reselling unslabbed on the European market to get best prices. From what I can advise is that should you want to keep it because you simply like it - do so. Buying a lesser grade vs a cleaned higher grade is a tough question. If the cleaned higher grade is nicer and the cleaning isn&#039;t so in your face, perhaps with a retoning on the way, I&#039;d go with the higher grade most of the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
