<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 171579, member: 3011"]I'm thinking of picking up a cleaned morgan dollar in about XF condition to run an experiment in "uncleaning" a coin. I plan to just carry it with me in my pocket with some change, car keys, etc. until it wears down to about VF. After all, this is how coins get to VF condition "naturally" in the first place, and they are designed for this treatment. The removal of a tiny amount of the surface through normal wear should also remove traces of having been cleaned. I figure it might take about 6 months.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
