<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 7779647, member: 4920&quot;]A life in being and 21 years. We borrowed it from the Rule Against Perpetuities, since the states aren&#039;t using that rule, anymore, under the theory, why let a good rule go to waste?</p><p><br /></p><p>Another way to put it is, ask a silly question, get a silly answer. I mean, seriously, who seriously believes there&#039;s some mysterious, elusive &quot;criterion/cut-off&quot; that somehow can be mechanistically-applied? And further, understand this. No collector in their right mind gives a crap whether some other collector thinks a coin was &quot;cleaned.&quot; Collectors who are smart look to the degree of surface-compromise, without regard to &quot;why&quot;--not to some <span style="color: #ff4d4d">edited</span>, emotionally-charged label--in evaluating their coins. I&#039;m sorry to inform you all, that&#039;s the way it is. Good idea to get on board with it, dropping the relentless inquisition into a label for opening your eyes and articulating what&#039;s going on in the coin. Get good at that, and it won&#039;t hurt you none.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
