<p>[QUOTE="Lawtoad, post: 4982858, member: 31685"]I have coins in my collection that have been cleaned (most are old cleanings). With older U.S. coins, in my experience, it becomes a task to find ones that have not been cleaned in the past. I have been concentrating lately on old U.S. coppers and ancients.It used to be common for collectors of large cents and half cents to periodically "oil" their coins. While not technically a cleaning, it does alter the coins surface. The old coppers also have a high incidence of being cleaned in the past. As noted above, for scarcer dates, sometimes the budget will only allow for cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
