.My gripe with and questions for the don't clean or send it to a pro crowd: how much is it worth uncleaned and how much does it cost to clean? Caked in mud the coin is worth nothing for sure. A pro cleaning may cost far more than the coin is worth to a collector. Unless we're talking about an extremely rare coin or a personal memento for our collection; I don't see the worth in it.
I guess it depends on the coin, I have no intentions of ever finding a key-date valuable coin, so I tend not to worry about it.
