<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1631289, member: 75105&quot;]It&#039;s fine whatever word you choose, but choosing to use &quot;cleaning&quot; as an umbrella term, seems kind of misleading.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always tell people &quot;don&#039;t ever clean your coins&quot;. To me, cleaning is doing something to a coin, that will make it deemed such by a TPG. Acetone baths, proper dipping, etc is &quot;conserving&quot; in my book. Your doing things to a coin so it can be stored properly for years, without any ill effects. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, I don&#039;t call that kind of stuff cleaning, cleaning to me is more like using silver polish on your coins, scrubbing them with a toothbrush, using a buffer, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cleaning and harsh cleaning are both bad. Cleaning would be using some soap and a toothbrush on a large cent. Harsh cleaning is taking brasso and a wire brush.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
