I worked for a dealer for awhile, you would be shocked by how many people cleaned or polished their coins before they came in to sell them. Most dealers do not want cleaned coin in their store inventory, so they will either pass on the coins, buy them at scrap value or sell them off on eBay. I agree that ethically the seller should mention that the coins have been cleaned, but it is really hard to fault them for not doing so. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you were selling a car would you say that "I wait too long to change the oil, the tires need replacing, the paint job looks bad without a nice coat of wax, my long hair dog goes everywhere with me"?
