<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 482630, member: 11521&quot;]I was at ANA headquarters the other day and a visitor buying some items asked where she could find something to use to clean her coins. The receptionist (who is not a collector) told her that it is not a good idea to clean your coins but the buyer really, really wanted to clean her coins. Seems she wanted to make them shiny. (Wish I had a dollar for every time I heard that.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The receptionist asked for my opinion. It told the buyer my heart skipped a beat when I heard what she wanted to do to her coins. I explained that cleaning coins can damage the coin&#039;s surfaces and destroy their collector value, etc., etc. and pointed her in the direction of a nearby coin shop where she could get professional advice (and buy coin dip if she so desired). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then I read the following Letter To The Editor in the Dec. 22 issue of Coin World: (Mods edit as required. I am posting the Letter in its entirety because I do not think the letter is copyrighted. My apologies if I am wrong.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: red">edit - yes, even the letters are copyrighted</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can&#039;t wait to see the responces to this letter in future issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
