<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2840905, member: 39084&quot;]This mirrors my opinion as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If the uncleaned coin had simply a silver tarnish (AgS), then I would understand how some collectors would prefer the &quot;toned&quot; version.&nbsp; But that&#039;s not what was covering this coin&#039;s surface -- it was dirt, not toning or a patina.&nbsp; Dirt isn&#039;t part of the coin&#039;s natural surface, by any reasonable definition of &quot;natural surface.&quot;&nbsp; My collecting preference is very much in favor of the cleaned coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
