[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1569588, member: 26302"]Thinking about this question more, honestly I would question not buying the cleaned MS64. I know "different strokes for different folks" and the like, and I never judge anyone's hobby, but seriously? A mint state coin that may have some hairlines and an incorrect color is WORST than a coin with 90% of its details just gone forever? That just does not make sense on the face of it. Hey, I am all for buying coins that "did their duty", and I own plenty of lower grade coins. I am not a coin snob in the least, but to say a G is anywhere near as desirable as a mint state coin, (unless the MS coin literally has corrosion, badly dented, or other catastrophic damage), I believe is horribly misplaced. I would trade EVERY SINGLE ONE of my G or VG coins for a cleaned MS coin. Period. I love all of my coins, but more detail is always more desirable. Just my opinion though. :([/QUOTE]
