<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 76025, member: 705&quot;]Right...if you go out and find a coin under a few feet of dirt...and you can&#039;t read anything...its has no value...but if you clean that coin it will have some value but not the value that it would have had before the dirt got caked on it and such...cleaning never helps a value...</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a coin like this....you have a Morgan dollar that was in a mint bag that sat in water....the water toned the coin a black...the balck toning lowers the grade and value because of eye appeal...but if you clean that coin (with lets say Acetone) and get off the black toning...it will help the eye appeal..and it might change the value but since the coin has been cleaned...many collectors don&#039;t want it...and in the long run...even though you don&#039;t have the dark toning...you have a coin that is not as good as you had before...IMO...I&#039;m sure some that like toning would disagree with me!</p><p><br /></p><p>Search on this forum for Cleaning ....and I think you will find lots!</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
