<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 4836394, member: 33176"]Hey, [USER=112262]@Roy Vallejos[/USER] see you've been on for awhile, but let me summarize some stuff. You aren't supposed to "clean" coins with techniques that will leave traces, but "conservation" of coins is perfectly alright. What distinguishes the two is being able to detect it. If you can't tell a coin has been cleaned, it hasn't. Now as to toning, some people love it and others can't stand it. For older copper coins that have collected lots of gunk, the removal of the gunk can leave the coin unnaturally bright. The idea is to restore a nice brown finish to improve the appearance of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
