<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldman, post: 355096, member: 11986&quot;]Cleaned really only gets mentioned if its done wrong. Thats one thing I have noticed with slabbed coins. That being said, I beleive its something like 80% of all coins not slabbed have been cleaned at some point. The older they are the more likly as cleaning coins many years ago was considered the other way around way back a long time ago. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> With that being said. I beleive the reason cleaning coins became the big NO DO thing. Is because so many coins where being cleaned incorectly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As AZ mentioned. Some coins are perfectly acceptable being cleaned for that same reason I stated above.&nbsp; You will notice that almost every coin you see over 150 years old has been cleaned. Reason: Peoples idea of collecting coins was very different from todays thought on the hobby. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Im glab you made the choice to keep it in its slab. For that I hope you get a good dollar amount for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
