<p>[QUOTE="gopher29, post: 300623, member: 5379"]shiney surfaces that are lacking in detail, grainy surface scratches, soil around the edges and raised legends of the coin but not on the flat surfaces, and diminished mint luster are all signs of a possible previous cleaning. The best way to learn the signs is through experience. Try cleaning a few coins in a variety of ways and you'll get a better idea of what to look for. Of course, don't practice on anything worth more than face value![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
