NCS conservation of the month

Fair enough Mark, now we're communicating as individuals instead of reputations... BTW, the name is Bennett Blake V (don't get confused with your google, there are a few of us, all related), grew up in Texas and always was a collector (late 60s, sorry no link ), but it wasn't until the past 10 years or so did I begin to get involved with expanding my collection via the internet auction services. Mainly Ebay and Vcoins. It wasn't until the past 4 or 5 years did I encounter the sub-culture of coin collecting online and "Boy Howdy... Has it been eye-opening..."

So, if you really, really, really, want to be technical, would it be factual to say all coins have been cleaned? Would the washing at the mint be considered a "cleaning"? Just some things to chew on, if I am wrong (which I probably am most likely ) then just get spit back out at me.

here are my 2 cents for you Phoenix. if the washing is part of the mfg process then the coin is not considered to be cleaned till the process is complete and the coin actually gets manufactured so its not cleaning IMHO. but yes most cons are cleaned even the ones in the slabs. no matter how much we hate it our coins wont last forever nothing does

 

Ahhh, okay, now I get it. I've wondered that for awhile, was hesitant on asking though. Now I can go off in peace, till another question pops up. Thanks spock and GD. :thumb:
