<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ctrl, post: 1284816, member: 13378&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>These were all coins that I had returned to me detail-graded and all marked as Improperly Cleaned. Each coin in my submission back in 2008, these and others, were all marked Improperly Cleaned. I got a little disillusioned and kind of let collecting to the side for a bit. At any rate, after receiving these, I read a lot about improper cleaning and considering that even finger rubbing can be included, I honestly still don&#039;t understand how any circulated coin could ever NOT be &#039;improperly cleaned&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I could never really fine were good descriptions of what really indicates cleaning (not including obvious actions like polishing, over-dipping, whizzing, scrubbing), so, if you don&#039;t mind taking a minute, help me to understand with these specific example what makes them improperly cleaned. It would help me a lot. Thanks. (These are scans, sorry)</p><p><br /></p><p>Tell me if I&#039;m close on what could have happened to these</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1814 50c O-105 F-details: Was this half simply rubbed too much? Dipped?</p><p>[ATTACH]143080.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>1853 G$1: Maybe polished a little with a cloth?</p><p>[ATTACH]143081.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1897-O 10c: Dipped a long time ago?</p><p>[ATTACH]143082.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
