<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 62962, member: 3011&quot;]It&#039;s too bad that cleaning is one of the hobby&#039;s brain cramps.&nbsp; Sometimes I&#039;m tempted to put together a collection of cleaned but otherwise valuable coins on the cheap and put them away until the day that a new sane generation of collectors emerges that isn&#039;t so hung up about it.&nbsp; &quot;Normal wear&quot; is okay on a circulated coin and will lower the grade a bit to AU or EF but clean an otherwise uncirculated coin and you might as well go play golf and use it for a ball marker.&nbsp; It just doesn&#039;t make sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
