Both good Zimmerman’s but imo both been cleaned at some point. Both are definitely priced well and fair.

Is it common for these to be cleaned? I take it that leads to a loss in value? I'm just looking for my first one so it doesn't have to be perfect, I think one of these might work.

Yes both are good DKiG.

As said they looks cleaned and why do that?
Only for the chance to take more money from the buyer and called them in very good condition or "mint".

You can clearly see that they have a lot of use and have "been" there.

IMO don´t clean any medals, let them have the nice patina.

Completely agree with Andy, nevertheless every collector has its own taste when it comes to keeping patina or cleaning them.

Those sold quickly, does this one look ok? It's a 134.

Cleaning aside, they are fairly priced. Try to find others on any dealers site for the asking price on these.

Is the 134 ok? If so I am buying it.

Here is the link and I posted 4 of the photos

Yes it's a good cross, but it's sold so hopefully you got it?
