<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DJP7x0s, post: 301305, member: 5336&quot;]Ok,&nbsp; before I get yelled at for even suggesting cleaning a coin, Id like to say I dont believe in cleaning coins. Ive never cleaned a coin and Ive never thought that I would ever be tempted to. But, Ive seen some cleaned coins that are very hard to tell if they had been cleaned or not. And the coin in question, well lets just say that I couldnt do anything to it to make it any uglier. So, Id like to ask opinions on this. Id like to ask if theres a safe way to clean it without hurting the grade??? And, should I try, or should I just leave it be??? Because right now, I think its an awfully ugly coin, that I would like to see without the corrosion. And well, if it didnt clean very well, or even if the coin were to get ruined, it wouldnt bother me. Ok, I took a few pictures and this pic is the best I got. The coin is an 1874 Indian cent with uncirculated details. Full liberty and all 4 diamonds. And I can see alot of red showing through. Whatever is on the coin looks like its just on the surface, but will not rub off. I dont think there is any pitting, but I cant tell unless it was gone. Anyhow, take a look at the pic and let me know if you think it could be removed or not. Thanks</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd202/DJP7x0s/1874Indianobv.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd202/DJP7x0s/1874Indianobv.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd202/DJP7x0s/1874Indianobv.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
