[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1840640, member: 29581"]Bugo, There is really nothing wrong with what you do to your coins with regarding cleaning the tarnish, and other gunk, off of them, as they are your coins. With that said; however, there is a clear distinction that should be mentioned between coins, such as the ones in this thread, which have no numismatic value beyond their silver content due to commonailty of date and mint, and excessive wear, etc.; and coins with numismatic value and premium value because of rarity, variety, rare error, VAM, etc., and that distinction should be mentioned so as to not give the impression to newbies to the hobby that every tarnished, crud encrusted coin, should be cleaned. Quite the contrary, coins with value beyond their metal content, and if the owner of said coins is not a fan of toning; which is a naturally occurring process of silver; and said coins carry value and/or premium value as I stated above, this should be done by someone with enough experience to do it in a way that will not cause damage to the coin over time, which will be case of these coins. Also, if you don't want to hear it, then don't start the thread, because unless responding members are in violation of posting rules here at CT, you will hear it from them anyway. BU[/QUOTE]
