<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wrucmike, post: 333844, member: 5452&quot;]Cleaning is generally considered taboo in our hobby.&nbsp; As people have said here (and probably elsewhere), when you clean a coin, you&#039;re removing its history (in this case, it would be 80+ years).&nbsp; The only exception is if it was coroded or had something like PVC residue on it from improper storage.&nbsp; But natural toning should be left alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any sort of brush will just create more hairlines, which is distracting from the coin.&nbsp; If you want to test that theory out, take a new quarter out of your change and see what happens.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for what you paid, beauty (and value) is in the eye of the beholder.&nbsp; With silver prices over $17/oz troy, you did well - a peace dollar is worth over $13.50 just in silver.&nbsp; And it has the honor of being your first peace dollar, which has sentimental value.&nbsp; Great start!&nbsp; Welcome to the club.&nbsp; :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
