<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 495927, member: 112&quot;]While your intentions are admirable, that&#039;s the whole problem Dru. You go find me 1 newbie - just 1 - that doesn&#039;t want their coins to look all bright and shiny.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean the proof of this is all but indisputable. How many times have we read the question just here on this forum alone ? How many times have we heard the stories or comments like - I got them all cleaned up now, they look so much better.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that&#039;s the point that was made earlier. Beginners, and even many collectors who have been around a while, if they had such a resource, would go right ahead and clean coins that do not need cleaning. And I would bet that they would not practice on junk until they got good at it. They would just go ahead and attempt to clean them. And almost certainly doing harm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, something else - you disagree with my statement above, I realize that. But think about this, how many sources are there out there that tell people, over and over and over again - do not buy coins until you learn about them first ! I mean you can&#039;t go anywhere on the net and not find that advice. You cannot pick up a book on coins and not find that advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now how many people can you think of that follow it ? Just about 0.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
