<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maryelise8863, post: 1308994, member: 33946&quot;]Sorry to butt in, but reading this leaves me with a couple questions. Maybe they&#039;re helpful to more newbies than just me?</p><p><br /></p><p>1. If a silver coin was improperly cleaned (not by me), what do you speculate was done to it? See pic below. If I cracked it out of the holder and waited however long, it would probably never tone normally again, correct? Might as well leave it as is?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]147218.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>2. If a gold coin was improperly cleaned (again, not by me), same question. Except the toning part. What exactly would happen to the gold if it were cracked out of the slab? Pic below...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]147219.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m guessing that with the silver coin, the improper cleaning was obvious to the grading company due to the black toning and the streak. But with the gold one, what&#039;s so obvious? Is it residue on the coin? The softened details? Any chance of regrading the gold coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
