I bought some 1964 Kennedy half dollars recently. If there circulated I don't really care if they were cleaned or not, I buy them just for the silver. I don't know why someone would clean a 1964 unless they wanted to make it appear like it was not circulated. I have seen cleaned Morgans and Kennedy half's and would only purchase for the silver value. It's really a shame how many coins have been cleaned and I just avoid them if they are certified.
Never Clean A Coin. It's OK to buy a cleaned coin as long as your satisfied and you understand it is cleaned before your purchase. If you later sell the coin, and it's not already in a slab indicating it has been cleaned, by all means let the buyer know the coin has been cleaned.

Honestly, with most silver coins, they are worth bullion value only. If you clean it then it certainly becomes bullion value only.

Bullion value only. That is the main reason a slabbed coin will get a Details condition label. Thanks. Don't do it.

Any coin cleaned looses value. How do you know it's cleaned?
