<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 752301, member: 4552&quot;]Sort of already well explained. The amount of cleaning, the method of cleaning, additional polishing, buffing, how long ago was cleaned and many other situations change the values. Then too a really rare coin if cleaned has less of a problem with value. For example a 1913 Liberty Nickel, if cleaned would not matter to much but a buyer would surely say I wish it hadn&#039;t been cleaned. </p><p>If you ever watch the Antique Road Show you would hear many times about cleaning old items. In some instances it lowers the value really excessively. Again, the amount of cleaning could really make a difference. And too with coins sometimes it is really difficult to see cleaning if done well. </p><p>There are always exceptions to anything. If someone really just needs a coin to complete a set or collection, many will ignor the cleaning aspect if not done horribly. And some do try for such cleaned coins due to the lower prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
