<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2709425, member: 1892&quot;]Frankly, S-VDB&#039;s are in such demand that they do not lose as much value as many other issues would if cleaned. One can&#039;t generalize the numbers; the better the original grade, the less value lost. That said, copper cleaners are as much abrasives as anything else, and among those methods described as &quot;harsh,&quot; chances are the only thing<b> harsher</b> one could do to a coin would involve a wire brush. </p><p><br /></p><p>The effect of such treatment becomes more obvious the more originally worn the coin is. That&#039;s why a polished VF would lose relatively more of its&#039; value than a polished AU, as the latter would end up looking more like it was originally. It&#039;s a subjective judgement, but given the popularity of the issue there&#039;s ample auction record of specific instances in every grade. Images would help a more accurate evaluation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
