Lovely coin but had some work done and obvious signs of cleaning.
If you buy a coin for £1k and do some work is it worth £2k .
In my opinion you pay the price its worth and people spending that money know its scarce/rare or worked on and does keep the price down but thats why you paid less.
A collection of pennies /half pennies was sold a couple of years ago and some went cheap as had pvc residue.
You have a choice nice coin or one witrh faults ?
Which would you buy as if you clean them its because you were not happy in the first place
CLEANING COINS just keeps more in the market for collectors.
Please look......... and if you have doubts pass.
People want to clean them for personal gain and should not off bought them ,all this conservation,preservation is CLEANED.
Nobody is trying to preserve a coin unless they want to sell it as wont make any difference.
I WANT TO PRESERVE A COIN I HAVE THAT HAS XXXXXX BECAUSE I WANT TO SELL IT FOR LESS
