Cleaned coins don't bother me so much if the price is low. The lower the price, the less it bothers me.

I don't mind a cleaned coin if it has good eye appeal and is priced accordingly.

Depending on the cleaning, I would sometimes prefer an original coin with a hole drilled in it.

I would never prefer an original coin with a hole drilled in it. I guess we all have a line we will not cross.

The St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco has an employee wash and clean ALL their change in a cleaning machine and have done so since since 1938. Found an article from 2010 but they probably still do it.
