<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2523954, member: 80121&quot;]I still believe that the odds of cleaning a coin (again, I don&#039;t count acetone) correctly are against the average collector. We just had a State Fair that lasted for 10 days and our Coin Club had several displays. The number one question was, &quot;the coins look so nice, how did you clean them?&quot; The average person and beginning collector needs to be educated. I still go by the mantra &quot;don&#039;t clean!&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently some members of this forum think that everyone has the same skill sets that they do and give advice that can cost a new or uninformed collector a lot of money. If you really think cleaning will help your coin, ask a trusted local coin store owner for their opinion. I did this and he, as a customer service will dip a coin for me at no cost, he has over 50 years experience doing this and still warns that things can go wrong. If you don&#039;t have a local then there&#039;s always the TPGS &quot;Conservation&quot; service.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
