They're not slabs.

 

That is your OPINION. Stick to the facts.

 

Ask and you shall receive.

I hate this because there is no disclaimer that what is being done in that video is extremely damaging to the coin. I have said it before and will say it again because a new collector may not know that this will damage and devalue their coins. But DO NOT CLEAN YOUR COINS. DO NOT erase them with a pencil eraser, DO NOT acid treat, DO NOT brush the teeth of your coins. I have never seen a coin with an image of someone smiling, so why toothpaste? DO NOT use rock tumblers, DO NOT use jack hammers or nuclear bombs on your coins.

I believe that as collectors, we need to preserve coins. We will not be the last to own them and we should not treat it as such. This is true for all collecting. You know that spray painting an antique desk will destroy its value don't you? Even though it will be shinier, it will be worth less and seasoned collectors will not want it in their collection.

There is a huge difference in preservation, cleaning and polishing. If you do not know the difference, just put your coins in 2x2's and leave them alone.

Here the scoop. Coins are cleaned properly when they your coins. But when they are someone else coins, they damaged...especially on ebay. Furthermore, my coins are never damaged, so don't even ask or point a finger.

And then I cleaned my coins.

 

Hey - keep the language clean in this thread.

Yeah brother!

 

Maybe not the ANA....

 

As far as I know acetone will not affect natural toning. It may react with
surface contaminates since it's not neutral. I believe that was the
selling point for Dissolve (Alphabet solvent) that it would not
react with surface contaminates. I never had a reaction to rinsing
toned coins with acetone. But maybe it's not worth the risk
for Reich's mistress.
Besides, your just being facetious with this aren 't you?

 

Has there been a fact sighting in this thread?

 

Hello

Thank you for your answer. Do you have references about the Acetone methodology?

Amanda

 

Not with me but I can check tomorrow. I believe there's a
reference to it in CoinWorld Almanac. But I'll have to
check. Is there really something you don't like about that
toning? It's beautiful.

You can't. The maximum big int on the data base is something like 23 million I believe.

 

In the case of the ANA, they only hire folks that clean them out........

 

The Smithsonian Polishes coins. The Met has stopped.

 

What are the cleaning methods that do no harm to a coin?
