<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1712848, member: 44079&quot;]Cleaning old US coins should be viewed as forbidden.&nbsp; Please don&#039;t do that.&nbsp; I personally like the older silver coins from my own homeland.&nbsp; If you are going to acquire silver coins from another country, I strongly suggest picking up a 2013 Red Book of coin values and seeing what you have, one coin at a time.&nbsp; Most collectors value cleaned coins much less than none cleaned coins.&nbsp; Some even prefer coins with obvious evidence of age and circulation.&nbsp; The advantage I see, for me, with pre 1964 silver coins from the US where I am, is when it becomes time to sell them, their value is known and if it isn&#039;t obviously a counterfeit coin, an assay is probably not going to be required.&nbsp; Versus a silver brick cast by some &#039;fly by night&#039; or a not quickly verifiable hallmark which will require an assay before it can be cashed in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
