<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1388657, member: 22004&quot;]I was looking at an auction lot that must be worth high XF money as an AU &quot;cleaned&quot; coin:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/39429/1875-CC-Twenty-Cent-Piece-PCGS-Genuine-AU-Details" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/39429/1875-CC-Twenty-Cent-Piece-PCGS-Genuine-AU-Details" rel="nofollow">http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/39429/1875-CC-Twenty-Cent-Piece-PCGS-Genuine-AU-Details</a></p><p><br /></p><p>All the detail is there and the cleaning looks light to me.&nbsp; Compare an XF @ Heritage that sold for over $900:&nbsp; <a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1160&amp;lotNo=3549#Photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1160&amp;lotNo=3549#Photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1160&amp;lotNo=3549#Photo</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So the question here is why all the hesitance on buying &quot;cleaned&quot; coins?&nbsp; If you kept that cleaned AU in your pocket for a while with other change it would soon be a gradeable XF45 anyway.&nbsp; There are collectors who refuse to buy &quot;details&quot; coins even though they have merits above the lower graded numerically graded coins.&nbsp; Am I missing something here?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
