<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 761514, member: 16994&quot;]I get people in the shop on a regular basis who are surprised when I say &quot;well unfortunately all of these coins have been cleaned&quot;... They then respond &quot;Well I wanted you to be able to see them better&quot;... I have that conversation a couple of times a month. In general people have pretty good common sense when they are non collectors... but from time to time I see thousand dollar coins cleaned or polished into $50 coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the comments in this thread made me cringe.... steel wool??? I hope you folks are kidding... or working on uncleaned ancients or something... IMO if you ever get to the point of considering a harsh abrasive like steel wool... or a toothbrush.... the coins too far gone to mess with anyways. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have to reiterate that unless you know what you are doing and understand the chemical reactions... and the results of being wrong and/or not doing it properly... you shouldn&#039;t mess with your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
