After reading strong points about cleaning and dipping.
I found myself with this question, if you find a coin that has been cleaned in any form.
Does it take away the value of a coin that is hunted for it's misprinted error?
I have not found any yet but it did make me wonder if that devalues the error , or did it highlight it?
Thanks for input

It will lessen any premium a coin may have.

An actually cleaned coin (no not properly dipped ones) will almost always cost less than if the same coin was uncleaned.

Thanks@John1 and @basebal21
It was just one of those questions spinning around in my head....lol
Like the tv ad ( if the shirt is not tucked in the pants ! Is the pants tucked into the shirt?)
It made me wonder if the error is less of an error?
