<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 1569619, member: 22271&quot;]Speaking as someone who had a relatively large percentage of cleaned coins in my bust half collection, when it came time to sell the collection, I ended up losing money on the cleaned coins, but making money on the problem-free coins. Yes, there were a few coins that I couldn&#039;t have afforded to own as problem-free (e.g., 1836 reeded edge bust half - 1,200 minted), but in retrospect, I should have passed on the majority of cleaned coins. Had I been more careful in my selection, when it came time to sell my bust half collection, I would have made money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know it&#039;s hard to pass on something like a 1798 small eagle dollar in VF for $2,500, but if it has been cleaned, you may be quite disappointed when it comes time to sell it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
