<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kookoox10, post: 1395363, member: 31129&quot;]That is true D.&nbsp; Lot&#039;s of coins were cleaned in their day, there was also a huge deal when it came to diseases and illnesses when it came to coin designs.&nbsp; Which brings up one of the big debacles of the day surrounding the incuse designed Indian quarter and half eagles.&nbsp; The general public feared the incuse nature of the design would house bacteria that causes illnesses.&nbsp; So all coins were scrubbed on a regular basis, not just those indian golds.&nbsp; And finally, this is why collectors hear the terminology of &quot;old cleaning&quot;, which a coin has at one point been cleaned some 50+ years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
