<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 412978, member: 6370&quot;]I would say an improperly cleaned coin decreases its value...if a properly cleaned coins value is decreased, it is only because people have an irrational aversion to cleaning of any kind. In many cases I would think cleaning a coin could increase the value as it increases eye appeal of a corroded or unattractively dirty coin. I know that is just my own opinion but I have seen coins that were just plain filthy but in great condition under the filth, a good cleaning brought out all the great detail but did not strip the coin of its natural toning...it was much more attractive and thus I would think it would be more likely to fetch a better price...and the way it was cleaned, I would challenge anyone to conclusively point to anything that shows evidence of cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
