<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Idries Pappas, post: 3166812, member: 95830&quot;]Welcome to CoinTalk. Your coin was damaged after it left the mint and is not an error.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Improper cleaning can remove patina, leave hairlines of the surface on the coin, and sometimes impair luster on AU/MS coins, causing the value to drop by up to 50%, sometimes more, on coins worth more than face/melt value. So, yeah, not a good idea to clean coins you suspect it has value. For dirty coins, soak in distilled water, with mild soap if necessary. If that doesn&#039;t work, you can try acetone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
