Effect on value of "old cleaning"

Could one estimate the reduction in value of an 1861 $5 gold coin graded at MS-62 if the grading reflected "old cleaning?" Thanks.

    If slabbed by one of the three respected services without remarks, I would tend to think the value would not suffer. If net graded by ANACS, AU-55 money is probably close.

    Probably more valuable as a raw coin than holdered.....still, you should be able to get AU money for it if it's not screaming ugly.
