<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1471152, member: 37498&quot;]I don&#039;t know which cleaning methods cause a coin to be slapped with the value degrading label of &quot;cleaned&quot;, but I assume they are the ones that harm the surface of the coin, or clean them incompletely.&nbsp; By harming the surface, I&#039;m referring to small scratches and pitting that result from scrubbing or from the use of acids.&nbsp; By not cleaning them comletely, I mean while most of the coin is clean, there is still grime in all the nooks and crannies between the letters and other features of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I might have to try the tinfoil and hot salt water trick on an old chewed up pre-65 coin, just to see what happens and to take a close look at it afterwards.&nbsp; It&#039;ll probably be hard to tell if any damage was done since the coin I have in mind already has a lot of damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
