<p>[QUOTE="TheFinn, post: 2928779, member: 90102"]Why do people wash cars? Because they get dirty. Most coins are made of metals that oxidize (tarnish), so they think you need to use chemicals to get it off to make it look new again. But the original patina is where the value lies, like in a Tiffany lamp. Would you use sand paper to clean your car when it got dirty? No, but unfortunately that is what people that don't know any better do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
