<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 3524475, member: 24091&quot;]Harshly cleaning has some applications too, no question about that.&nbsp; Take the SSCA gold ingots for instance, they called it conservation but in reality just a euphemism for harshly cleaning all of the crud off these gold bars after they sat on the ocean floor for over a century.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course there are are some who claim the more original ingots with red all over them are somehow more desirable, but the prices realized at auction do not suggest any discount for the harshly cleaned bars over original bars with iron oxide and other contamination adhered to it.&nbsp; The cleaned bars look far more impressive to the uninitiated, and what&#039;s the point in owning one of these ingots if you can&#039;t impress the hoi polloi with it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
