<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 5184257, member: 19463&quot;]That may be true but you can not go back when you discover that their was ugliness under the dirt.&nbsp; What I find objectionable is when harsh cleaning goes below the surface of the coin and increases erosion.&nbsp; IMHO the bcuda coin I said I liked was cleaned down to the smooth surface without adding pitting or tearing up the edges.&nbsp; This does not bother me.&nbsp; Each coin is a separate case with problems or pleasant surprises waiting under the dirt.&nbsp; Knowing when to stop cleaning is important.&nbsp; I believe the OP coin could have been cleaned less harshly removing some dirt but not stripping it completely.&nbsp; If so, the coin would be worth a fraction of the asking price.&nbsp; If the coin sells it will be a sad commentary on the current state of the hobby.&nbsp; I would not be surprised if it sells.&nbsp; If it does and the buyer decides to resell it in an auction, what will result?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
