<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ahardy17, post: 161955, member: 5312&quot;]I have a friend, Harry, who introduced me to coin collecting, and he has been collecting for over 20 years. He cleans every single coin he gets, and I don&#039;t know how to stop him. It&#039;s already too late to save the majority of his collection, but in the future he should understand. He is planning on selling his collection for his retirement(he&#039;s 35) and I&#039;m afraid he&#039;ll have problems doing so. I knew this was a bad situation from the moment I saw his large cents, cleaned so that they gleam like the day they were minted. I was just reminded of this nasty habit of his when we traded a few halves. He gave me a 64-d, a 65, and a 39 walker. They were all shining like proofs, except there are visible scratch marks all over every single one from him scrubbing them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know how I could convince him to stop?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
