<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1456456, member: 112&quot;]But is it ? Did you read the warning at the beginning of that video ? The one that said not to do this with coins that have numismatic value ? There&#039;s a reason for that warning.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are literally a thousand different things you can do to coins that some people think make the coin look &quot;better&quot;. Some think that polishing up a dirty or ugly toned coin with a jeweler&#039;s cloth make the coin look better. Others think that using soap and water make them look better. Others think that using a tooth brush and tooth paste on the coin make it look better. Or soaking the coin in ketchup, taco sauce - the wildest and craziest things you can think of. Sure, many of these things make the coin look better. But does it really ? And in whose eyes ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess when push comes to shove the only eyes that matter are your eyes. But keep in mind, not everybody sees things with your eyes. Some people will see what these various methods do to the coin. They will see things you are not seeing. And that will matter a lot if you ever decide to sell that coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why in that video the warning is given to not use this method on coins that have numismatic value.</p><p><br /></p><p>So let me rephrase your question. What is the point of buying coins that you do not find aesthetically pleasing ?</p><p><br /></p><p>The best thing you can do - is to not buy coins that you do not find aesthetically pleasing. Do not buy coins that you think you can make &quot;look better&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead buy coins that you like just exactly as they are. And then store them properly so they stay that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
