<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insomniac, post: 761454, member: 21995&quot;]It&#039;s true that not all dipping and cleaning effects the value of a coin, however the way a coin is cleaned can have drastic consequences. Careless cleaning can leave scratches and marks on the coin, and excessive dipping strips away luster and color, leaving a dull and lifeless looking coin. In either case, the value is effected because it has been cleaned improperly. It can be completely recognizable and more or less like they looked when they left the mint, but if the cleaning has rendered it unappealing, then the coin&#039;s value is going to be hurt. The fact that &quot;everyone is doing it&quot; in no way negates the coin&#039;s current state; just because a practice is widespread does not mean its effects are negligible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
