<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 70495, member: 3011&quot;]I&#039;ve seen 100+ year old cleaned gold coins on Ebay where the final selling price was less than bullion value.&nbsp; Intellectually, I know there is something very very wrong about that situation; but emotionally I can&#039;t bring myself to bid on them because it has been hammered into my brain to never buy a cleaned coin.&nbsp; So forums like this have helped to either save me from making a mistake, or brainwashed me into conventional numismatic thinking to my own detriment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
