<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1264837, member: 23626&quot;]Sometimes, it isn&#039;t going to matter. In fact, I have used a &quot;cooking&quot; method that has had better results than &quot;dipping&quot;. But I experimented with it some and won&#039;t use it on key or semi keys or coins that hold a &quot;numismatic&quot; value. But it&#039;s been said that most older circulated silver coins have been cleaned at some point. And I have a good friend who can be considered an &quot;expert&quot; in the field of Lincoln Cent varieties who has more than 1400 in his collection who routinely &quot;cooks&quot; cents prior to searching. Most of the guys here have very nice collections and would not even think of collecting from circulation, so they would never clean a coin. Which is right, but some coins it just won&#039;t matter. IMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
