<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 907598, member: 21603&quot;]Absolutely not.&nbsp; If you want to sell a coin that has been cleaned and is clearly labeled as so, then it is up to the buyer if he wants to buy it knowing that it has been cleaned.&nbsp; As I said in the above post, you could probably get $20-$30 for a cleaned 1918 standing liberty quarter with MS62 details, which is definitely above melt price.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I seem to be digging a hole further and further the more I comment on this thread, this is all I have to say about it.&nbsp; Simply put, cleaned coins aren&#039;t worth as much, and sometimes not much means &quot;junk silver&quot; prices.&nbsp; Which is why you sometimes find these coins in the junk bin of some dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; If I had my way, the price of coins would be solely based on the details and rarity of the coin, cleaned or not.&nbsp; It really irks me to think you are buying a nice coin only to find out later that it was cleaned and isn&#039;t worth as much.&nbsp; But, this is the industry standards.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t make them!&nbsp; But, I do have to understand that this is how the standard is applied and I have to live by it.&nbsp; To do otherwise would lead to a lot of bad purchases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
