<p>[QUOTE=&quot;diocletian, post: 413038, member: 15273&quot;]Of course there are times when cleaning coins is beneficial to the coin. Uncleaned ancients have to be cleaned. PVC damage is another example. However when this question is asked it is usually asked by newer collectors and they must know that cleaning and shining a coin can get them in trouble. Last year I was at a coinshop and looked at a 1916 ddo nickel. It was about a $4000 coin that someone turned into a $800 coin by harshly cleaning it.&nbsp; Last week there was a guy who posted on ebay&#039;s coin board. He spent a lot of money on 5 raw coins and sent them to NGC. They all came back bodybagged as cleaned. Ask him about cleaning coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
