<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dannic113, post: 1362590, member: 35203&quot;]Heavy dips or using gold and silver jewerly cleaners and polishes will hurt somewhat as they etch some of the surface away and thus silver away. It will throw the weight off some so if you are selling 100&#039;s of morgans that little bit can add up. Use acetone to try to remove the glue. As it is scrap and as long as it&#039;s sold as such just for the silver value cleaning it is fine. Just make sure there aren&#039;t any dbl. dies or rare dates/mint marks errors or variations (VAM&#039;s) in there or you may be sorry you did clean them. Cleaning the foreign materials off also helps you get full value as no one pays silver price for cardboard or glue so if they aren&#039;t there the coin shop or smelter whoever doesn&#039;t have to try to adjust the weight for the other non silver materials. Also anything G-4 or better would not considered scrap by any coin collector so I assume you are talking culls, holed for jewelry, post mint damage, previously cleaned/destroyed coins when you say scrap. It doesn&#039;t change the price you will get for it but some dealers save G-4 and up for silver investors, bulk bag buys, junk bins etc. so don&#039;t clean that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
