[QUOTE="iameatingjam, post: 6752135, member: 118287"]I'm no expert but I think the picture shows a good level of cleaning. Its a highly subjective thing and the basis for many an argument. I like when there's enough patina to add contrast with the letters, but I also want to be able to see all the details. Some people say it loses value to clean too much and they are probably right, and thats something to take into consideration if you're a dealer.
