[QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 424324, member: 9308"]If you mess with coins, they get worse in most cases. I have no problem with a little coin care and a rose thorn or toothpic to remove the goober or the kling-on ( tribute to Spock ) , acetone for the PVC, etc. Nobody like coins with an obviously removable hunk of goo or gunk. When you get into trying to remove spots ( you cant) , improving color ( you'll ruin it ), or similar " doctoring " ( no matter how much care you use ) you will damage the coin. Best policy? Avoid them in the first place. Don't buy them. Pass at those " discounted problems". They are always problems, and when you go to sell, you'll be looking for a fool to buy them. The bigger fool theory. There is no price too cheap for a problem coin. Edit: paragraphs make things easier to read[/QUOTE]
