<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3076923, member: 112&quot;]I get what you&#039;re saying Kurt and agree for the most part. The thing is this, when a coin has been harshly cleaned there are always traces of that harsh cleaning that can be readily detected by those with the knowledge and experience to do so. Granted, there are many different forms those traces can take, but they are always there and always detectable. And yeah, they all do have a certain, but individual look to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if there are no traces that are detectable, then the coin has not been harshly cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would also add that learning how to correctly and accurately detect all forms of harsh cleaning is one of the hardest things there is to learn in numismatics. Some of them are downright easy to learn, but those are few in number.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
