I can clean a coin that came right out of a mint-sealed package that has no foreign material on it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree. What if you accidentally spill EZest on your collection? Not intentional, but all of the coins will have been “cleaned.”</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That was a grey area I was aware of when posting. Someone could “clean” a coin using a Dremel tool with the intentions of just cleaning it, the result of which is a whizzed coin. Thus I include it in my definitions.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is key. How far do you go to say it is improper? Where I draw the line line is if I can tell for sure that the surface is not original. No market-acceptable crap. </p><p><br /></p><p>The grey area is where the probability of the coin being dipped is extremely high (blast white MS-63 Bust Dollar, for example), but I can’t say with 100% certainty that it was not stored in an environement that did not allow toning to happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
