The cleaning - removing dirt and or other contaminants - often reveals or accentuates (in other words makes it look worse) any damage that the coin may have had before you cleaned it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why even you dip a coin in a commercial coin dip, you always take a chance - there is always a risk. This is because you never know if what you cannot see is there or not. It may be covered up by toning or even plain old dirt. Remove that toning and or dirt - and you might end up wishing you had not.</p><p><br /></p><p>The hardest thing there is to learn when it comes to cleaning a coin, or dipping a coin, is what coins you should do it to, and what coins you should leave alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
