<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 3628195, member: 4920&quot;]I tell the kids it ruins the finish and you can&#039;t get it back. Then I show it to them in cleaned and uncleaned coins, and they &quot;get it.&quot; It&#039;s no longer a brainless rule to them, it makes sense. Who has to tell them a scouring pad is likely going to scratch a coin? They&#039;re not stupid. A ten-year-old collector can figure that out on his or her own. It&#039;s about the finish. Teach them right, they know what they&#039;re losing when they clean. Informed, they make their own choices, that&#039;s how it&#039;s supposed to work.</p><p><br /></p><p>Got any other questions? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
