<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 787127, member: 112&quot;]C&#039;mon now, that is not the scenario you described in your previous comment that I responded to. You cannot take things out of context and twist them around to make them mean something else.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you said was - &quot;So basically, Dawn soap rubbed between your fingers than a good rinsing. And wahla, bright shiny silver, but not considered cleaned.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>And I respnded saying that yes, that would be considered as harsh cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why ? I think it is rather obvious, rubbing with your fingers in combination with a dishwashing detergent will leave traces, marks, hairlines on the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now rubbing a coin between between your fingers is not considered as harsh cleaning. But there is a name for it in the hobby and yes, even rubbing a coin between your fingers is considered harmful and it alters the surface of the coin. It is known as thumbing. And in the days before Genuine slabs made their appearance thumbing would land a coin in a body bag just the same as harsh cleaning would. Only the reason given would be altered surfaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you can rationalize and believe whatever you want. But what I have stated is the truth. Your not believing it does not stop it from being the truth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
