<p>[QUOTE="Pennycase, post: 23464, member: 1141"]I don't see a big problem with a coin that has been wiped slightly with a jewelers cloth or something, or any other type of cleaning that is very slight, as long as the price of the coin is dropped about a grade or two. I also believe there is a big differance between old time cleaning and new, new being the worst, with the information floating around there these days, no coins should be cleaned, period. The cleaned type coins that I will NOT buy, are those that have been cleaned using a wire brush, baking soda, and all those other types of cleaning that even the person cleaning them can tell that he is messing the coin up, but, continues to clean a few more just to make them oh so purdy. I've although found a dealer who goes above and beyond the call of honesty, even the slightest touch up on a star with a Q-tip, and he marks it cleaned, and prices it low, and will show you exactly what star was cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
