Ain&#039;t no way that one single spot gets crud when nothing else does. All the same, I&#039;d throw a few bucks at it, to shoot my own images highlighting the cleaning and use these images as a comparative for educational purposes. I&#039;d just know I was buying a harshly cleaned coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
