I actively collect, buy and sell US minted Philippine coins from 1903-1945. I am interested in anything during this period, Albums, Coin sets, Proof sets, collections, original rolls and bags, books, pictures, Cullion Leper colony coins etc...

The reason that everyone says not to clean coins is because everyone says not to clean coins.
I personally prefer to look at cleaned coins as opposed to tarnished coins, therefore, I tend to purchase cleaned coins for my collection. It works out nicely for me because I get the coins that I want at a discounted price. That being said, I personally do not clean coins.
You know, there may be something behind this reasoning. Of course, I'm from a different era (when cleaning was accepted, and in fact, the norm). I'll tell you one thing though... those coins in our old Whitman folders sure did shine!
From reading the thread?
