<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rick, post: 71615, member: 1235&quot;]I think the &#039;old days&#039; you are talking about is just the memory of what some folks did before they knew better... Care has been a subject in numismatics for a long time. Perhaps that has evolved, as we learn more and we have materials to better care for our collections. At one time, cleaning a coin may have been no big deal because the market really didn&#039;t react much to evidence of cleaning - those times have long since changed - but I don&#039;t think folks have even been given the free range to abuse their coins and expect the value not to drop in response to damages resulting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
