<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 543760, member: 15110"]Tom, hang in there. You will still learn a lot here and it never hurts to hear different opinions. Maybe you can post some pics of your friends coins that have had lighter fluid treatment maybe along side of those without the treatment. See if we can guess which is which? I absolutely agree you will screw up coins accidently with most methods of cleaning. Unless your a have a surgeons' hand, even then you will screw up coins. Probably the longer I collect the less I am wanting to try to fix my coins. The mistakes are too painful to live with. Damaging a $30 raw coin and have to wait for it to tone to hid the scratch is frustrating. I don't like grime on my coins, but I don't like damaging my coins either in an attempt to improve them. That being said, I have improved a number of coins with no scratches whatsoever. You have to be VERY careful. Maybe a year from now I will talk like GD, who knows. Always be open to questioning your beliefs to be sure they are solid and based in fact. This is true in all things in life. That's my peace out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
