<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brent Miller, post: 3328978, member: 100620&quot;]Hey everyone,</p><p>I’m new to the numismatic world.&nbsp; I’ve already learned so much from reading all your post, great stuff!&nbsp; It’s pretty well established that one of the biggest “sins” to coin collecting is to never clean your coins.&nbsp; Can someone tell me why that’s such a big deal? Before I started collecting and still looked at quarters, dimes and nickles as just 25, 10 and 5 cents, would take my big pickle jar down off my shelf pour all my coins in a colander, use hot soapy water and go to town.&nbsp; Out comes my coins but free on pocket lint, dirt, old goofy stuff that attaches itself to my coins in the bottom of the cup holder in my truck.&nbsp; Is that the kind of “cleaning” that is so bad?&nbsp; Or do they mean to say avoid more of a chemical type cleaning?&nbsp; Thank you, and have a blessed weekend![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
