<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2407214, member: 66&quot;]Just remember that someday those coins will be in someone elses personal collection and they might be happier if they had NOT been cleaned/polished.&nbsp; Cleaning can always be done, uncleaning rarely.&nbsp; Although we tend to think of out coins as being OURS we are only their caretakers for a brief time.&nbsp; There is an obligation on us to preserve them without damage so that future generations may enjoy them as well.&nbsp; Think about say a VF bust dollar.&nbsp; Sounds nice doesn&#039;t it.&nbsp; Now imagine that some previous owner decided he wanted it &quot;nice and shiny&quot; so he polished it to within an inch of its life.&nbsp; After all it was HIS and he could do anything he wanted to with it.&nbsp; He&#039;s gone now, and YOU get to enjoy that polished monstrosity.&nbsp; Don&#039;t you wish he had practiced proper storage and curation prectices instead?&nbsp; That is what someone someday may think of you and how you treated the coins that fate entrusted to your care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
