Where you get in trouble ethically in my mind is if you do something like this with the intent of selling the coin. If the OP wants to dip his coins in peanut butter and light them on fire to see the effect, I've got no issue with it, as long as he's not selling them as "uncleaned" coins down the road.[/QUOTE]
