<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 787696, member: 21603&quot;]I&#039;m not trying to twist anything. I&#039;m just trying to understand the logic behind &quot;cleaning coins.&quot; I&#039;ve basically said that no coin should be cleaned, and that is my opinion....which can&#039;t be wrong.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And you said this, &quot;The rule is this, coin dips are acids. You should never use them without already having the experience needed to use them. And of course the only way you are ever going to get that experience is by ruining a lot of coins and throwing a lot of money away.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, basically for the average Joe Schmoe, you agree with me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Plus, if the coin isn&#039;t slabbed, the average Joe Schmoe won&#039;t know the difference between a harsh cleaning and one that is acceptable.&nbsp; He won&#039;t know weather a coin that obviously looks clean, even though it has been rubbed down was cleaned properly or harshly.&nbsp; He doesn&#039;t know the expertise of the cleaner, and if they dipped the coin for the proper amount of time.&nbsp; So, if the coin looks &quot;cleaned&quot; and is rubbed down, I say avoid it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
