<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Papeldog, post: 3631796, member: 95893&quot;]cpm9ball, I like the after picture better my self. as for cleaning or restoring coins it is considered a no for most collectors, but I have had very good luck at touching up coins not really cleaning but removing surface grud + grime with hawthorn spikes and lightly soaking in water, not rubbing or scratching the surface then rolling a Q-tip over the surface with olive oil then dabbed with cotton cloth. I have sent my altered coins as some might call them to ICCS, CCCS, and PCGS and have never got a detailed coin or cleaned coin from any of them that I have cleaned or altered always a grade. So I&#039;m guessing its all in how you attempt to clean or alter coins.</p><p>Jim J[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
