<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kazuma78, post: 2084945, member: 17304&quot;]That&#039;s could be true. I guess grading companies assign &quot;improper cleaning&quot; grades to coins so if a coin were to be cleaned &quot;properly&quot; it wouldn&#039;t be identified as cleaned on a holder anyways. I guess you are right, although I&#039;m sure when cleaning they used the utmost care to clean the really rare stuff so there are probably little or no signs of cleaning on some of those coins. Nonetheless, they have still been &quot;cleaned&quot; I suppose. I&#039;m sure some of them were cleaned in a bad way though and show it. I couldn&#039;t tell you anything about the coins on display at the Smithsonian as that exhibit was closed when I went there. I was highly disappointed. It will worth going back to see though I think![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
