<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WBASE Joe, post: 1705520, member: 50738&quot;]It definitely depends on the collector, collectors looking for only authentic, untouched, uncleaned cons... well it definitely hurts a lot. But, there are a TON of people out there still willing to buy and collect cleaned coins, some even prefer them. There are even collectors that will go to such lengths as to have their initials or other details purposely stamped right on the face of a coin, because it is apart of their collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in the end, it is the opinion of the buyer or collector, as to how they want their coins. As a personal collector, I dont see anything wrong with cleaning them for your own personal reasons, especially if it puts a smile on the collectors face to see a nice clean good looking coin, vs one that hasnt been cleaned, etc. Just keep in mind, there is NOTHING wrong with doing whatever you want to your own coins, or buying coins that you like, but if you are buying, reselling, etc and trying to cater to certain collectors, the best way to go about it, is to always try to get the coins that the certain crowd wants and NEVER misrepresent them. Otherwise, do as you will, people buy and love all types of coins, cleaned, uncleaned, polished, etc. There is a coin lover out there for EVERY category.</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy your coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: Yet again mobile phone technology ruins my words, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
