<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 511214, member: 112&quot;]Ben there is a very specific reason that most people will say never clean a coin. That&#039;s because the first thing a novice will do of someone tells him to clean a coin is reach for a cloth and some cleanser of some sort. But if you tell a novice to dip a coin, he&#039;s gonna look at you and say - Huh ?</p><p><br /></p><p>In the first palce - <u>dipping is not considered cleaning</u> by the majority of those in the hobby. It is considered to be dipping - a thing entirely different than cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what you, and all of us, need to do is to learn to use the proper vocabulary.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes there are going to be those who will say that technically dipping is cleaning. And they are correct - technically it is. But we are not talking in technical terms - we are talking in real world terms, useage terms. Dipping and cleaning are far removed from each other in the real world.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
