If a novice collector stumbles across a post that says “cleaned coins are good,” then he/she might be inspired to clean his/her coins without regard to the potential damage it may cause. But if the qualifier “properly” is used, there is no ambiguity. Same thing with “harshly cleaned.” A novice collector may see that “harsh cleanings are the bad cleanings,” and think that a gentle wipe with a soft cloth is permissible where a scrubbing with a brush is not. Again, if the term “improperly” is used, there is no ambiguity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another term I use for what you call “harshly cleaned” coins is “abrasively cleaned.” Again, no ambiguity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
