<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Samisue, post: 1714788, member: 51360&quot;]Question: Wanting to clarify cleaning vs. preservation ideals.... Doesn&#039;t it only matter to preserve the coins that are actually valuable, such as a 1969s lincon ddo or a 1955 lincoln ddo? If I have an abrasion or mechanical or deterioration dd that isn&#039;t really worth anything special, that i plan to keep for my own collection, does preservation really matter? No serious collector is really ever going to want it anyhow, so why not? right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Now, if I have a neat specimen of the same types of doubling, but it looks cleaned, (or I cleaned it due to heavy gunkage for example) and i decide to sell it on ebay for a reasonable price, and state that i believe it&#039;s been cleaned and honestly identify the type of doubling, does that make me a fraud?I ask because I&#039;d like to at some point sell some of my interesting and/or unique finds (none are any of the &quot;big&quot; ones), and want to make sure that when I do, I do not end up falling under the category that so many of the ebay sellers do. the ones that are considered a detriment or what-have-you to the hobby of coin collecting. :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
