The History of Coin Cleaning | Sahara Coins
Published 2016-01-31
In early numismatics, polished coins weren’t necessarily looked at as damaged coins. Polished coins had a bit more of leeway, because things were looked at differently. So, as time has gone on and the grading scale was put into place, there is a bit of leniency depending on the coins. Sometimes an “early cleaning,” meaning they were polished a long time ago, there is a bit of leniency with the grading and it might not be marked as a clean coin.
He also explains that it is best NOT to clean your coins, polishing a coin is polishing away money.

I never been a fan of toned coins. Though I do have some. It's like a vintage car with surface rust on the fenders. That's patina too but nobody likes Rusty fenders. Toning like rust is the deterioration of the coin. So when I buy coins I make sure there's no toning. I buy coins with eye appeal that's brilliant. I agree no coin should ever be polished. But some Modern coins can be dipped in silver dip without any harm no telltale signs of cleaning.
