<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 7779419, member: 92655&quot;]Interesting question..... I bet you get a myriad of answers. For me, if the coin has been cleaned to a point that the luster has been eliminated, that is too much. Coins cleaned long enough ago to have &quot;skinned&quot; back over (I don&#039;t know how else to describe that).... I will take it. The coin in my avatar is 144 years old. Unquestionably that coin has been cleaned as it has absolutely zero tarnish. But it also retains full luster. I think it is the most beautiful coin that I own and it has a straight grade...... Very old coins that have been cleaned tend to skin or heal over and that is a decades long process. Once they reach that point I think they become market acceptable. Anyway, that&#039;s my take on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
