<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2128231, member: 32619&quot;][USER=74299]@Daenegger[/USER], I think you may be getting some of the terminology here confused. If a coin is deemed &quot;Cleaned&quot; by a third party grader then it&#039;s been determined to be improperly cleaned or harshly cleaned. The grading services don&#039;t use the same terminology but it means the same thing - a coin that shows evidence of a cleaning. The market has determined that these coins are less valuable then coins that show no signs of cleaning. Now a coin can be cleaned and show no trace and that is considered acceptable while another coin that has been cleaned is covered in hairlines or luster breaks and is less desirable. Does this make sense? It&#039;s not that it has been &quot;cleaned&quot; or not but if the cleaning has damaged or altered the coin in some way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
