<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curio Bill, post: 944262, member: 15540&quot;]Today at the nashville show I nearly bought a beautiful &quot;starting to tone&quot; braided hair large cent from a dealer I trust &amp; have dealt with for several years, when he volunteered that the coin had been cleaned long ago &amp; was now beginning to tome over. I passed on the cent (but appreciated the dealer&#039;s honesty &amp; bought several other coins from him), but now....</p><p>How can an american modern coin newbie learn how to detect prior cleaning?? I have been dealing with ancients for several years now &amp; ALL of them have been at least partially cleaned during the past 2000 years, but I understand it is a bad thing for modern coins.</p><p>Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
