<p>[QUOTE="Inspector43, post: 7520324, member: 89213"]I don't consider you a failure. I feel like I am the failure in my attempts to clean coins. I am an novice with about two year experience. All of my cleaning projects start off as crusty and unidentifiable chunks. I work at them slowly and continuously look at close representations trying to find patterns to follow. There is no intent to deceive anyone, not even myself. Sometimes I take off too much or not enough. I clean, soak, clean observe through a microscope, continue. Given this information you labeled me a "self confessed coin doctor". A lot of people give serious consideration to your opinions. A lot of people grew understanding that "coin doctoring" was a bad thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Where do I go from there? Do I stop cleaning coins? Do I apply a less effective technique?
