[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3629246, member: 76194"]I should add that I collect ancient coins... and almost all ancient coins have been cleaned to some extent. [ATTACH=full]973321[/ATTACH] This one might have been cleaned for the last time less than 20 years ago, which is why she is so bright. [ATTACH=full]973323[/ATTACH] Maybe this one hasn't seen a cleaning in nearly a century, and probably spent decades in a wooden cabinet in a humid environment. [ATTACH=full]973322[/ATTACH] And probably this one hasn't seen a cleaning in over 2 centuries....maybe more! But they are all cleaned. They have to be after 1,500 - 2,500 years in the ground. I personally never clean any of my silver coins. But I know that regardless of whether they be bright, somewhat toned, or heavily toned.... someone somewhere already cleaned it before I ever got it.[/QUOTE]
