A Cleaned/Jewelry Grade coin is a coin that has been altered from its original state through cleaning, polishing, or modification for use in jewelry, which diminishes its numismatic value. These coins are primarily valued for their precious metal content, or in this case, their gold content, as the alterations reduce their appeal to collectors and result in lower coin collecting market prices while maintaining their melt value.
