<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 1916697, member: 33176&quot;]Know I am being picky, but you have high aspirations and should know that harsh &quot;cleaning affects the value&quot; of coins - only if you can detect the cleaning.&nbsp; The effects of cleaning show up in fine hairlines mostly visible on flat fields, but also on the figures in the coins.&nbsp; Cleaning methods that do not involve rubbing of the coin (dipping) are generally undetectable until the diping process has disrupted the surface enough to cause lack of luster.&nbsp; Since not all uncirculated coins have luster, any disruption of surface finish should raise red flags about harsh cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
