Yes, I guess I should have explained that this wasn't a "collector" set I was putting together.

Never could figure out why so many complain about cleaned coins if for yourself. Normally only makes a difference if selling. For your own personal collection, your coins are your coins so you can have them the way you want. Yes cleaning them can ruin them, but a dipping or Acetone dip to just clean them up is up to you. In many instances I like dipped coins since in many instances they sell for a lot less than normal. If it's yours, it's no one's buisness what you do to it or have done to it. I constantly hear how cleaning ruins the value. That is only true if your selling. If you never sell a coin, then so what?
As to this dime. I like it a lot.

Carl: I agree. What someone does with their coins if their business.

However, the main reason I don't agree with cleaning is not because it ruins value but because it ruins eye-appeal and a perfectly good coin (Which is also why it ruins value).

Do I buy cleaned coins? Yes. But they must have good eye-appeal nonetheless. Ofcourse I only buy them significantly discounted in case I ever sell them.

As a gift? This coin is just fine. Not like your mom will look at the coin and say; What a waste of $10!

Cheers!
