<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 358228, member: 13650&quot;]How does everyone here view improperly cleaned coins?&nbsp; For example, you would like to have a slabbed gold piece of some sort.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t mean say, a 20-100 dollar range silver coin where you may as well get a nice uncleaned one.&nbsp; But say for a $10 gold eagle.&nbsp;&nbsp; The normal price is 600+.&nbsp; You find the same coin, same year for roughly half this price, in a slab from NGC and it states that it&#039;s been improperly cleaned?&nbsp; Would some people use that to their advantage and get a really nice coin that was improperly cleaned or would you rather get the 600+ just to say it hasn&#039;t been?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; From my viewpoint, not having an unlimited budget, occasionally&nbsp;&nbsp; improperly cleaned coins seem like a pretty good deal.&nbsp;&nbsp; The coin still has the same gold content.&nbsp; It looks great.&nbsp; It&#039;s graded decent.&nbsp; But it was improperly cleaned.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; I was wondering how much everybody frowns on that sort of thing.&nbsp; I&#039;m just trying to figure out if it&#039;s really such a negative thing if you want a good deal on higher dollar coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
