<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lincoln64, post: 22097, member: 1232&quot;]I&#039;ve read a lot of the forum posts about cleaning coins and understand that it is pretty much a no-no. If a person were to scrub a circulated coin with dish soap and a tooth brush, would that constitute cleaning to anyone other than a purist? I tried it out on an old nickel that was pretty dirty. It got the gunk off but it didn&#039;t particularly brighten it. It looks better that it did, but only because it&#039;s clean. Could I list a coin on eBay, for instance, and not say it was &quot;cleaned&quot;? not that I would, of course, but does soap and water actually meet the interpretation and intent of defining something as &quot;cleaned&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
