<p>[QUOTE=&quot;susanlynn9, post: 14916, member: 1258&quot;]I have heard a lot of different opinions about what is considered to be a &quot;cleaned&quot; coin. Some people have said that if no chemicals are used (just warm water and dish soap) that a coin is not considered to be cleaned. Some have said that even running a coin under water alone makes it a cleaned coin. I have been collecting since I was 5 and my grandfather (who got me started) said that coins should never be cleaned no matter what, even with just soap and water. I have seen coins that only have dirt deposits but have hesitated to do anything about it because I don&#039;t want to devalue the coin. What is the general consensus about cleaning without chemicals or abrasives? Any input would be appreciated.</p><p>Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
