<p>[QUOTE=&quot;texmech, post: 833918, member: 20068&quot;]I am looking at this thread from a different perspective. As a buyer. I am still a novice, but I am pumping some serious money back in my collection. Everyday I read the various post on this forum. heck, I even post a few threads my self. Now I am hearing that dealers intentionally clean coins. I know they knowingly buy cleaned coins, but then clean some them self? I feel like Gomer Pile here, but that kind of shocks me. Penny Lady, if I were to visit your table at a show, and I will in&nbsp; few weeks here in Big D, and ask you if the coin I want to buy has been cleaned, let a lone by you, does that offend you? Should I assume the price will reflect this? It&#039;s like I buy this coin at the show or coin shop which looks really nice because it was cleaned, but I don&#039;t know it. I get home put it in one of my Intercept albums and 1 year later it starts looking much different. Is that the possible consequence of this short term solution? Help me out here. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is like a car dealer warming up the car before a test drive so it starts nice, but when I get home after buying it, it will not start that easily. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also when I am looking at a coin, what&#039;s a sign that it may have been cleaned with oil, lighter fluid..whatever?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
