<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 3001674, member: 5233&quot;]Well...cleaning and conservation really do mean the same thing.&nbsp; The issue is one word is taboo in this field and the other is not.&nbsp; Because a lot of collectors incorrectly connect &quot;cleaning&quot; and &quot;improperly/harshly cleaning&quot; as the same thing...most collectors shy away from using the word &quot;cleaning&quot; at all.&nbsp; In reality, they are not the same thing.&nbsp; It&#039;s all semantics really.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for toning always continuing...it does. There is no way to 100% stop it.&nbsp; With proper storage we can slow it down to the point where it appears to not be progressing during our finite existence...but it is still progressing.&nbsp; But, at that point does it really matter?&nbsp; From a chemistry standpoint, it is still progressing but that&#039;s it.&nbsp; But, if that coin was stored properly for a few 1000 years and we could jump forward in time to view it...we&#039;d see some toning progression.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
