<p>[QUOTE="OldSilver, post: 1162082, member: 30146"]Any cleaning pretty much takes awau from a coins numismatic value. Most methods of cleaning leave microscopic scatches in the coin wich any good collector will look for with a loop before buying. A dip such as e z est doesnt leave scratches as much as say baking soda or toothpaste but collectors want the coin in its original form even if it hasnt aged very well. If it is junk silver that you are keeping simply for bullion and not for numismatic value than by all means clean it up if it makes you happy but then it really will only be worth melt value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
