<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 163050, member: 6370&quot;]I tend to respect what moen has to say and I agree with him here. They are his coins and he may do with them as he pleases...I have seen MANY threads like this on the ancients forum as to how much cleaning is too much cleaning and people get equally worked up. No need to bash meon simply because he doesnt get all worked up at the notion of a person cleaning a coin and might even see some of the reactions here a bit over blown...You can have your opinion but you dont have to bash moen for his.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The most I will do with a dirty modern coin is put it in some distilled water for a bit to get any surface dirt off, this has NEVER harmed a coin and makes them look a bit better...but if a person spent his money on a coin and wishes to clean it, its a shame (by todays standards) but its not the end of the world. To be honest I have seen people bemoaning a cleaned coin and thought &#039;what a nice coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I have a feeling that if I posted a well cleaned coin with a mint condition coin (or a cleaned coin that has been retoned with another toned coin) half the people couldnt even tell. I have always thought it odd that people get so worked up over a cleaning...now a BAD cleaning is a damn shame for sure. Just my 2 centimes[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
