<p>[QUOTE="spencer13cat, post: 296275, member: 10986"]Post #1 and I know I will annoy a few people. This is really meant to get you to think things thru. It's like the "zero Tolerance" crap in schools. There are always odd circumstances that make exceptions to rules. To those of you who say "thou shall never clean a coin or be damned for eternity." I say I agree with you most of the time. If we are talking about a coin worth a few times common silver for instance I probably won't clean it. But a common date mercury dime that is close to slick, You aren't going to hurt it. A 16-D that is dark and barely readable.........you will hurt that one. </p><p> </p><p> All I am asking is when you give these absolute answers you will gain more respect and credibility by qualifying your answer instead of discussing grits of sandpaper and wire wheels. It comes off as degrading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
