<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1840487, member: 41780&quot;]Bugo is challenging one of the cardinal rules of coin collecting: you don&#039;t clean coins.&nbsp; Period.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, again, they are his coins, and, though cleaning may be offensive to some people (I am adamant about it -- I think I have cleaned maybe one coin because it was developing corrosion, and it was a small Japanese 10 sen silver piece), some people just do not care about the sensibilities of the majority regarding their own coins.&nbsp; Plus, the rules in the hobby are subject to change from generation to generation.&nbsp; I have had my arguments with a relative over my insistence not to do something like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think newbs will butcher their coins regardless of threads like this.&nbsp; Plus, if a newb lands on this thread, he&#039;ll get plenty of people slamming those who do this. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But again, considering that the coins were worn anyway, I think the damage was minimal at most.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
