<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JJK78, post: 633004, member: 19207&quot;]That is a very nice coin, and in my opinion looks way better after your cleaning then after it was &quot;restored&quot;. </p><p>I do however have what is probably a noobie question so please forgive me in advance!&nbsp; Is a coin that has undergone a &quot;restoration&quot; then considered a &quot;cleaned&quot; coin? Or would it still be considered 100% authentic? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am wondering because I have an 1820 penny that has some nice details on it but the overall shape of the coin is not very good as it has many small &quot;pitting&quot; marks on it.&nbsp; I have always understood it best to leave coins in their original shape so I slapped in it a 2x2 many years ago and never touched it.&nbsp; It is my oldest american coin and although I would never sell it I would almost hate to &quot;clean&quot; away 190 years of history, even if it is just dirt<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
