<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 7413427, member: 4920"]You asked for it. You're just like a lot of others, here. You take the easy way out and misunderstand it's like a religious proscription or some damn thing. I know 13-year-old collectors who understand it better than that. You don't clean coins because it takes the luster out of them, and that's irreversible. Get off your religious experience, and understand it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your token, or whatever that is, was junked, the way you described it. Tumbler away at it, the damage was long done. But don't misunderstand. For coins of any value to anybody, the luster is the life. You clean it, you kill it. You leave it flat, dead, and beyond redemption. Good enough, or do you require further explanation?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
