Default cleaning it will take away from it's value

but it sure would look alot better. i got to get back and do some looking before the corn goes in.

Nice find!!!!!


I have a question. Why if you clean a coin and it looks better does it take away from the value?

Actually, dipping it will make it more desirable and worth more $ in this case.

I don't like to clean them either Tom but some coins warrant it
