<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jmsimmons, post: 63836, member: 3192&quot;]Hello</p><p><br /></p><p>While cleaning is cleaning.&nbsp; That does not mean that a coin should never be cleaned.&nbsp; Case in point, coins with pvc damage.&nbsp; In my opinion cleaning coins such as these does not make them worth less.&nbsp; In my opinion what ever they are worth cleaned is about how much they were worth in the first place.&nbsp; Here the cleaning process is done for restoration and preservation.&nbsp; Just like ancient artifacts found by acheologist.&nbsp; Obvously the preservationist must know what he or she is doing and have a great deal of practice, and it should only be done for preservation sake.&nbsp; The fact that it is preserved should also be disclosed.&nbsp; Just because it is toned and has a little dirt on it is not a reason to clean though.&nbsp; It should NOT be cleaned to look like new either.&nbsp; Just cleaned to remove curosion. Thats my 2¢.</p><p><br /></p><p>James</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; Don&#039;t say never.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
