Anyone know how the views in that collecting world compare to what most people think about cleaning cards? Maybe like cards, opinions are all over the map. Look at coins all the time . . . stupidly never even thought of the cleaning issue. And I don't know if it bothers me.
If a coin is obviously cleaned, is it marked down some why by the grading companies?
I know Peter S. collects coins, suspect others do as well. |
