<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 287562, member: 4552&quot;]Odd! Says Proof Like. If not a proof, then something must have been done to it. Regardless, if needed for a collection, not a bad price even if cleaned and/or polished. The thing to rememeber is if you have no intension of selling any coin, then it really dosen&#039;t matter about cleaning, polishing, etc. It&#039;s your coin so who&nbsp; cares? I have purchased many cleaned coins due to the better prices. I usually leave them on a kitchen window if a little to shinny and they eventually tone down. Of course I have no reason to ever want to sell any coins. At a really old age, no reason to ever consider selling coins. </p><p>The only thing to remember is if <b>you</b> suspect that someday you may want to sell your coins, cleaned and polished coins will hurt the resale values. </p><p>Sure is different nowadays. When I was a kid if you showed anyone a coin collection the first thing most people would say is &quot;you should clean those things&quot;. And we all did. We washed them, polished them, dipped them in stuff like battery acids, lemon juices, etc. A coin collection just had to shine, shine, shine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
