[QUOTE="Mat, post: 5182844, member: 21445"]I'm in the minority & will say I actually prefer it uncleaned. True the details are better with it cleaned but the reverse difference of color would drive me crazy and I would quickly dump that coin if it was a result of my cleaning. And the price...forget it. I wouldn't pay $100 for that cleaned coin cause of the look of the reverse. My bronze Caligula could maybe be cleaned, but no way would I attempt it plus I like its scruffy look. I could have easily parted with this coin since I bought the AR Drachm, but I am really partial to it.
