[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2858821, member: 112"]The point I have been trying to get across is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with cleaning coins - IF it is done properly. But there is a whole lot wrong with doing it improperly ! You see, it's a terminology thing. There is cleaning and there is harsh cleaning. Cleaning is good, harsh cleaning is bad. Cleaning = proper cleaning, or correct cleaning - a method that does no harm to the coin. Harsh Cleaning = improper cleaning, or incorrect cleaning - a method does do harm to the coin. In point of fact there are even times when cleaning a coin is necessary. This can be due to environmental damage or advanced toning - both can destroy the coin. So if you wish to prevent that from happening then the coin must be cleaned. Doing nothing ensures that the coin will be destroyed.[/QUOTE]
