Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1221 Posts	Posted 12/19/2020 11:39 am Here's a coin that has been cleaned in the past buts is now beginning to tone nicely. Will this coin ever become market acceptable or are there just to many issues? I believe it's a Obverse #1 so please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm also thinking it would grade VG10 or maybe F12 so opinions please.TIA Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

I point to denticle my guess is F12, maybe 15 on a sunny day. the cleaned , yes it is relevant, but show me 100 coins that age and I bet 95 have been cleaned. So why even mention it? here is the previous post http://goccf.com/t/379454&SearchTerms=1871 Report this Post to the Staff

Fidius New Member Canada 9 Posts	Posted 12/20/2020 03:50 am I never understood what the big deal is on a CIRCULATED coin being cleaned, unless of course there is significant resulting damage. By definition, circulated coins will have wear. Does it make a difference how the wear was obtained? In many cases careful cleaning will improve the look and eliminate distracting marks. Now on a "mint state, uncirculated" example, that is an entirely different discussion. A F12 cleaned coin to me is a non issue. Just my thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

Silver Nickel Valued Member Canada 89 Posts	Posted 12/20/2020 8:45 pm Fidius, I mean the difference is that when a coin is cleaned its not natural wear so people tend to not want to buy it as that "improved look" is not done naturally. IMO I think that many people would want a non cleaned coin, than a cleaned coin of the same caliber. Report this Post to the Staff
