<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 3209884, member: 91609&quot;]I&#039;ve bought cleaned coins, both &quot;accidentally&quot; &amp; intentionally (you can get great deals on known cleaned coins).&nbsp; But I&#039;m an eclectic collector &amp;, I think, I have different criteria than most.&nbsp; For example, in my type sets I have some cleaned, since I&#039;m just trying to collect/show the details of the coins.&nbsp; On some, I buy a cheaper (read:&nbsp; cleaned) coin when an uncleaned version is more than I want to spend, although I want that specimen/variety.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is, you must do what satisfies you in your journey.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I suggest you hold on to them at least until you find replacements acceptable to you.&nbsp; And who knows, by then, your feelings about them may change.&nbsp; &quot;Cleaned&quot; is not the end of the world!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
