We are stewards, enjoying the coins while they are with us and ensuring that they will be available for future generations of collectors to enjoy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cleaning a coin may bring you joy, but it also permanently effects the surface on the coin in a negative way. Therefore, cleaning is not good stewardship. &quot;Cleaning&quot; should only be performed by professional conservationists when it is required to halt the deterioration of the coin - and in this case the actions performed are correctly called conservation.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, again, never clean.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
