Do you define dipping a coin as cleaning ? They do not, at least as long as the coin is not over-dipped. And then of course there is conserving, like the service provided by NCS. They don&#039;t consider that as cleaning either. Whether you or I do or not is a matter of personal opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>The grading companies use terms like improperly cleaned or harshly cleaned to describe coins they will not slab. And typically the coin will have mutiple hairlines or even scratches in the surface as a result of the cleaning. They also use the terms to describe coins with little or no remaining luster as a result of the cleaning - like when a coin has been over-dipped.</p><p><br /></p><p>But clean or dip a coin and leave no telltale signs as mentioned above - and they&#039;ll slab it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
