<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 63235, member: 1674&quot;]cleaning is an act of deception in the coin industry.&nbsp; It is a way to hide the history of a coin and as such coin cleaning (and those who sell cleaned coins) must be made to pay a steep penalty for their attempted deception.&nbsp; When someone cleans a coin they destroy the history that it acquired on its trip through the hands of those 48 hookers and a coke dealer <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Now, that is how I feel about the issue (and for the most part numismatists in general agree with me), but if you don&#039;t mind cleaned coins, then by all means clean yours!&nbsp; For a short while (as far as the coin is concerned) you are the coins&#039; custodian and you have every right to treat or mis-treat your coins any way you want.&nbsp; Just don&#039;t expect someone to pay full price (the price assigned to a similarly graded original coin) for your cleaned coins when you are ready to pass them to their next custodian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
