<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 305529, member: 112&quot;]Harshly cleaned might be defined as cleaning that can be detected. On well circulated coins it might be scratches or fine lines on the surface of the coin. On MS coins it would be the lack of mint luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is this, a coin can be dipped and that is not considered to be harsh cleaning because you can&#039;t tell that it was dipped if it is done properly - except by common sense and reason. But clean the same coin using a cloth and an abrasive cleanser - and you can see it in a New York second.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
