<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1625135, member: 37839&quot;]Cleaning of a coin can completely destroy the value of a coin--render it worth little more than melt.&nbsp; For the rarer dates, it would not render the coin valueless, but it would greatly reduce the monetary and collector&#039;s value of the coin.&nbsp; How much?&nbsp;&nbsp; I would say it depends on how much of a cleaning, and how harsh it was.&nbsp; If it was a dip done 40 years ago, it might well slab and not substantially impact upon value, as most brilliant Morgans were at one time dipped.&nbsp; If it were improperly cleaned, the coin would be a &quot;no grade&quot; situation, and be returned in a &quot;details slab.&quot;&nbsp; Once again, it&nbsp; depends on the rarity of the coin, the type of cleaning done, and if there was significant damage to the coin.&nbsp; Remember that ANY cleaning removes the metallic surface of the coin to a degree, and is destructive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
