<p>[QUOTE="pennsteve, post: 1388889, member: 33011"]I was told years ago by a coin shop owner that cleaning a coin lowers the value because most collectors like the "history" that has built up on the coin. That 1921 penny might have been held by Al Capone. That 1957 quarter might have been in Elvis Presley's hand, etc. but also the coin might get damaged a little by the cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
