<p>[QUOTE="pga2be, post: 945829, member: 19480"]I recently bought 120 peace and morgan silver dollars.

Since I bought below spot, I plan to sell as "junk" type coins, but should I take the time to clean them? I know cleaned and "doctored" coins are never a good thing for the hobby, and I fully agree. But, I would not be cleaning them to try to sell them well above spot. Just wondering if I should clean them to help make them more readable, while also preventing dirt and corrosion from flaking off any further (my hands were nasty after just putting them in stacks while counting them before purchasing). Would I be wasting my time? </p><p> </p><p>If people think I should clean them, what should I use?
