<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7936650, member: 103207&quot;]What&#039;s interesting is how they determine a coin has been cleaned.&nbsp; My 1796 as far as being cleaned it&#039;s not cleaned in a way that you can really tell.&nbsp; Most guys would have no problem with it.&nbsp; No damage or marks just regular wear.&nbsp; I would call it a soap and water cleaning.&nbsp; That&#039;s when you soap up your hands and then soap up the coin and rinse it off.&nbsp; If done right you only remove surface dirt.&nbsp; The coin may lighten a little but, it will tone back fairly fast.&nbsp; A few years ago I put a large cent in my pocket with nothing else in that pocket.&nbsp; The cent was a common date in extra fine.&nbsp;&nbsp; Within a few days all the high points showed the red of copper.&nbsp; That was straight pocket wear.&nbsp; Was it cleaned NO.&nbsp; Would it slab as cleaned probably but, it wasn&#039;t cleaned.&nbsp; Normal pocket wear nothing more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
