[QUOTE="snapsalot, post: 1406362, member: 37085"]I believe you are pointing out the flaws in the general numismatic ideals as of late. It has spread like a cancer and I hope it stops. The general consensus is ALL cleaning is BAD, its like lighting a book and fire until its ashes, unless of course the cleaning was done by some big expensive overpriced grading company, then cleaning is GOD. Well I do NOT agree with the flock. I would MUCH rather have some nice high end AU cleaned coin for the same price as a F-12 uncleaned of the same coin. It is rediculous how so many flock to the idea that if some guy 200 years ago spit on his coin and rubbed it with his thumb a few times to clean the dirt the coin is forever worthless. Yet if some guy charges you 50 bucks to dunk your coin in a vat of acid its money well spent? Well I would rather pay 50 bucks for a AU quality coin that was lightly cleaned then 1000 bucks for a VG-8 of the same coin uncleaned any day of the week TYVM.[/QUOTE]
