<p>[QUOTE="westcoasting, post: 1698821, member: 46847"]If you like these 90% coins and want more, I'd recommend a roll of Franklins next. I like them cause you don't have to worry about the dates and they tend to hold their spec weight pretty decent. I have my father's old junk silver coins (some quarters, franklins & kennedys) and the quarters tend to be more 'used' and all under spec weight (not that it matters though).</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing about cleaning coins and getting them to look clean and shiny is that once you do it- you can't undo it. I didn't realize that cleaning them pretty much ruined any collectible value. However, in my case, I'll never sell them (since they were my father's) and will pass them to my son. So, I'm ok with them looking shiny clean. Fun to play with... feel and sound like treasure chest coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
