<p>[QUOTE="CoinDude08, post: 151986, member: 5266"]Oh no I didnt mean that particular coin, but I meant cleaning in general is frowned upon by serious collectors, sure shiny coins are nice but shiny coins with hundreds of tiny pits or scratches is no fun. Also if you clean it with water most likley it will get clean for a while and then tarnish over again later. So it is best to preserve the coin in the condition it is in by putting it in a 2x2 or snap or something and keep it in a safe place rather than taking the top layer of metal off so it will be shiny.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
