<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Art, post: 19843, member: 568&quot;]When you decide to sell. I&#039;d be very interested. Cleaning was fairly normal for circulated coins in the 50s and 60s. Many coins even into the 70s received what was known as &quot;thumbing&quot; - a brisk rub between the thumb and first finger. It removed a lot of dirt and spots. I&#039;ve watched dealers do this at their shops and at shows.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that Indian Head Cents may have been cleaned earlier in their life only makes them fit better in one of the exhibits I&#039;m putting together. Specifically for 1907 IHCs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not too long ago David Bowers had a note in one of his columns quoting another dealer who stated that some large percentage of all circulated coins beyond xx years old had probably been cleaned at some time in their life. I believe it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
