<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 726077, member: 112&quot;]Now I&#039;m probably gonna get forty eleven comments about how old I am because of this ( do so at your own risk <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) - but I can actually remember those ads ! </p><p><br /></p><p>Now to counter that, I can also remember my grandfather lecturing me, a full year before that magazine of yours was published Jim, that cleaning your coins was a big no-no ! </p><p><br /></p><p>Even back then, when ads like that were common place in every coin mag there was, they were even in comic books for God&#039;s sake, there was still a very large and growing segment of the hobby that knew full well what harsh cleaning did to your coins. And they were absolutely dead set against it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, even after receiving several of those lectures about the evils of cleaning your coins, the very first thing I did with my very first 2 coins - was to clean them all up and make &#039;em nice and shiny with a jeweler&#039;s rouge cloth <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yup, I got another lecture.&nbsp; But more importantly, I was shown <u><b>why</b></u> what I did was the wrong thing to do. It&#039;ll soon be 50 years ago that I was taught that lesson.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
