<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 401716, member: 6370&quot;]eh? reread...I said: &quot;coin / token&quot; ...not that it matters what I called it...either coin or token is the same when it comes to cleaning ...you can both improve or lose value by cleaning them either correctly or incorrectly and if that statement quoted above is not a blanket statement telling a person:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;whatever numismatic value it had you took it away when you cleaned it&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>then I do not know what is...you didnt inquire how he cleaned it...you didnt say &#039;if you clean it incorrectly&#039;. What about the subject matter do I not know enough about to call it misinformation? The statement above is purely misinformation.....he simply said:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I had to clean some green stuff off it coz it was really dirty when I first got it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>and then you made a pretty blanket statement saying in no uncertain terms he took away any numismatic value it had by doing so (even though the green means, most likely, it needed attention.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>and then I said that was just plain misinformation...there are many factors to consider as to whether he harmed it or helped it....mainly HOW he cleaned it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If someone told me that, I would take away from that statement that cleaning a coin (or token) takes away any numismatic value...period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
