<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MorganFred, post: 34457, member: 1779&quot;]I strongly recommend NOT cleaning it at all with anything. The buzzards at the grading services ring a bell and are issued a golden brownie point every time they find a cleaned coin; the competition is fierce, so they work hard to bodybag a coin. More seriously, IMNSHO and experience, ANY cleaning (possible exception: a gentle air stream) is detectable by these experienced graders who have thousands of coins with which to compare coupled with an eagle eye and a myriad of techniques. And as we all know all too painfully, a cleaned coin is a dead coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Could you post a picture of the toning? As often as not, toning is a good thing for a coin. Among my beloved Morgans, toning can command a hefty premium on a coin&#039;s value.</p><p><br /></p><p>And WELCOME to the forum, Dave![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
