<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 956934, member: 16269&quot;]Conservation-cleaning is different than just tossing your dirty coins in the dishwasher for a couple of cycles. If there is progressing damage occurring to your coin or substances that will damage the coin it can be removed &quot;professionally&quot; by using chemicals or processes that attack/ inhibit/ or stop it. Too many novice or well-intentioned collectors use off the shelf so-called coin cleaners which actually damage the coin thereby devaluing it substantially. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are several threads (and debates) on this forum as pointed out by Krispy.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was a kid I had my coin collection gleaming by using Brasso and Silvo. What should have been worth hundreds of dollars was reduced to face value, probably around four bucks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
