<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 98753, member: 1674&quot;]Since you don&#039;t care if a coin is cleaned, would you be willing to pay full price for coins that others would discount since they are cleaned?&nbsp; If so I have a list of junk, errr, cleaned coins that I&#039;d be willing to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I&#039;m being fecitious, but do you get my point?&nbsp; Think of it like this, the price of an original coin is X and the price of the same coin in the same grade, but cleaned is X/2.&nbsp; It is not so much that collectors are discounting cleaned coins 50%, but that the cleaned coin price is the &quot;real&quot; price and collectors are paying a huge (100% more) premium for an original coin.&nbsp; You are right about the huge numbers of 18th century and earlier cleaned coins and that is why collectors put such a premium on original uncleaned surfaces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
