<p>[QUOTE="SSG_Gonzo, post: 1309047, member: 31791"]LOL I think I am learning alot but at the same time damn I feel stupid lol. Just for the record I got a bunch of Lincoln cents from a friend that had them in an ashtray. They all looked like grabage but they had rainbow toning on them and I thought to myself well why not try to clean them and this might help with my anger problems (I am a Soldier and therefore I have alot of those lol). Of course these cents are for no one but me and they wouldnt be sold to anyone cause lets face it they are Lincoln cents that no one would want. So I read a few posts on conserving coins not cleaning and well I went to the local hardwear store and bought a big can of acetone. I have dipped them and rinced them and now have a lovely collection of rainbow toned Lincoln cents that belong all to me (I will post pictures soon on a new thread so keep an eye out). Long story short if you want to clean your coin or in better terms conserve your coins they are your coins and you should do what you want with them. Dont let others tell you what to do with YOUR HOBBY. If you plan to sell those coins well ask for advise, do some research and talk to some of the people here at CT. They may not always see eye to eye as you can see from this thread but they obveously have certain points that each can be validated. I have been trying to learn how to do this for quite some time and with the help of one of the members here in CT I am learning alot about many things to do with coins. By the way thanks BadThad for the help you have given me I deffinatly have learned alot. If you dont like what I have to say well that is your opinion dont belittle me over it because I am not going to change over the fact that you think I am wrong lol. I am learning alot from all of you though lol have a great day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
