<p>[QUOTE="oz_in_ohio, post: 3373503, member: 89534"]You stated here .... <i>I know Its bad to clean them except in certain circumstances and with the right solution. <span style="color: #ff0000"><b>You are wrong as the rule in numismatics is DONT CLEAN A COIN AT ALL.</b></span>... </i>Here is a scan from one of the leading books on the planet written by Greg McDonald.... But what do we advanced collectors know..People like me that have been in the hobby of numismatics for over half a century dont know a thing...do we!!! You newcomers are always right...arent you!!!![ATTACH=full]894852[/ATTACH] Excuse the sarcasm but i am sick of newbies thinking they know everything... After being a coin dealer for over 40 years, i guess the old saying which states the customer is always right sticks and both retired dealers like myself and people still in the trade are all wrong... Well if collectors think that they are always right, why do they approach dealers for valuations when they can do it themselves??? Have a nice day[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
