<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 523554, member: 4552&quot;]Of course we all cleaned coins way back in the old days. If you showed someone a collection and it was just out of change they would usually say why don&#039;t you clean those things, they sure are dirty looking. So we did. </p><p>Way, way back when I was a kid there was a coin store in the neighborhood. One day in the window there was a tray of 1916D Mercury Dimes for $1.50 each. All in about G to F. So I purchased them all. Don&#039;t remember where I ever got that much money. And naturally when I got them home, I did what all us kids did, cleaned them with a baking soda and water solution. Sure looked nice. OH, the $1.50. This was somewhere in the late 40&#039;s I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
