<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldCoinLover, post: 698342, member: 4336&quot;]The general answer is no, absolutely not. Cleaning a coin reduces its value significantly, and is considered a &quot;problem&quot; coin. People like their coins original, with their crusty patina (That is, the toning build up around the edges of the coin during its lifetime). Cleaning used to be acceptable a long time ago, but not anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you have some really old crusty coins like ancients that are encrusted in dirt, I think soap and water is safe for those to remove the dirt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
