<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1373039, member: 26302&quot;]Dang Doug, I bet your fingers get tired typing the same answers over and over. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you, just maybe think it could be a sticky or something, then you could just say, &quot;refer to my sticky&quot;. Might save some wear and tear on those old fingers. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>To OP, like you said just assume you do not clean coins. Those here who have done it have started with circulation coins and spent years practicing, and yes occasionally damaging coins. It happens. Cleaning, even in experienced hands, has risks. Many times it looks like the cleaning damaged the coin but in truth it was damaged before and dirt, (intentional or not), was hiding that fact. A beginner will almost always damage a coin. If you REALLY want to learn, there are people who can teach you, but I think most colelctors can have a very enjoyable hobby without once ever having to clean a coin. For a beginner, its more important on how to spot &quot;incorrectly or harshly cleaned&quot; coins, as these are worth far less than good coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
