<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 1468316, member: 24754&quot;]Well that&#039;s strange&nbsp; because the people in these forums are collectors, and I&#039;ve seen &quot;Don&#039;t&nbsp; clean coins&quot; repeated a thousand times in here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that you&nbsp; are making reference to your &quot;clean&quot; verses &quot;harshly cleaned&quot;&nbsp; delineation, but terminology is getting in the way. When I say cleaned&nbsp; (and typically when the word is used in these forums) I am not talking&nbsp; about knocking the dirt and grease off of a coin. I&#039;m also not talking&nbsp; about soaking in an inert solvent. I&#039;m talking about a process that&nbsp; alters the surface of the coin to improve appearance. This type of&nbsp; process would fall under the &quot;harsh&quot; side of your classification, and&nbsp; these represent some of the processes that are used by organizations&nbsp; such as NCS. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They are secretive about it because they do not want you to know that they are using the same processes that earn &quot;improperly cleaned&quot; designations for other coins. I assure you that the primary consultations when organizing these services were not with chemists, they were with people that have extensive experience with cleaning coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
