<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1365663, member: 112&quot;]That&#039;s not so. There is nothing wrong cleaning a coin. There is most definitely something wrong with harshly cleaning a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are millions and millions of MS grade coins in NGC and PCGS slabs that have been cleaned. Yeah, I know, now somebody is going to argue now and say those coins have been conserved.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well horse puckey ! Conserving is just a fancy word for cleaning. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there are some who say &quot;don&#039;t clean&quot; period. But that is advice that is given typically to beginners because they don&#039;t understand or they misinterpret when you try to explain to them how to properly clean a coin. And yes a coin can most definitely be cleaned without doing any harm to the coin. But there are few methods of doing that and they must be done correctly or the coin will be harmed.</p><p><br /></p><p>One example of when it is &quot;good&quot; to clean a coin is when you clean it remove a harmful substance or to prevent further damage from being done to the coin. PVC contamination for example should always be removed, cleaned from the coin. Excessive or dark, heavy toning should be removed from coins otherwise it will literally eat the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
