I don't really get the whole 'improperly cleaned' thing.
If they are using that terminology, shouldn't there also be a category for 'properly cleaned' ?
Otherwise, they should just say 'cleaned' using the term as a pejorative.
I bought a 1799 dollar very similar to that one last year on ebay for ~1600 + shipping. It can be viewed on this site in an old thread. It was a raw coin though. That seems to create a world of difference in some eyes/minds, even though they would look the same in an album.
It seems this coin hobby has more twists and turns than a rally course.
