<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3203132, member: 112&quot;]Learning how to correctly identify harshly cleaned coins is one of the hardest things there is to do in numismatics. It requires a great deal of knowledge and great deal of experience. And I know of no website, or book that tells you how to do it. And I say book because no single article could possibly encompass everything there is to know. But there are some that talk about specific kinds of harsh cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>A big part of the problem is how many different ways there are to harshly clean a coin - you&#039;d be hard pressed to count them all. If you can imagine it, it&#039;s been tried. So about the best you can hope for is to gather bits and pieces of information found in various threads, websites, articles, books, and even threads on coin forums. Do a search using harshly cleaned or cleaned coins as your key words, the number of hits that come up will give you some idea of what I mean.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
