<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wesdavidson, post: 593840, member: 18646&quot;]Circulated or unc that is the question. Any circulated coin has been wiped off, cleaned rubbed in a pocket, washed, laundered - name the catastrophy. Some of mine were burried and burned. burned and burried? oh well, they came out of the indonesian earthquake ruins. the red and black surface is part of them, they will stay that way. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; now as for cleaning them,, I had a dug nickel I cleaned the lime off of it, it was 1887. if I had paid to have it cleaned it would have been worth $50-$80. it also with my luck would have been 1987. Now it is a cleaned coin - still worth multiples of face value. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I would not touch an au or unc, xf, maybe. AG or f, well. if it junk silver, it may get dipped. it may not. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Just keep the wire wheel and sandblaster away. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Copper, well, brown is nice. Bronze desease is not. Green from a sewer backed up, a soaked collection, water damage. dug coins. Clean if you must. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I like old original surfaces. No dipping if you want top dollar from me. Dipped coin? I&#039;ll net grade it, discount a bit, or a lot. rarity, price, do I need it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
