<p>[QUOTE="jhinton, post: 1423388, member: 24410"]I think it's a really simple answer honestly. "Most" collectors want their coins as original as possible. This includes all of the years of dirt and gunk, to a certain extent. Also, no matter how light you think the "cleaning" is, I assure you that there is a change on the surface of the coin. It might be very small but viewed in sections like the coin Doug posted it becomes very evident.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
