<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steve63, post: 2315373, member: 76463&quot;]Fair point.&nbsp; But I also think the question has to be asked &quot;have value for <i>whom</i>?&quot;&nbsp; My original question was whether vinegar could potentially hurt any melting value of the coin.&nbsp; I&#039;m still not sure I know the answer to that.&nbsp; I agree that as far as any serious coin collector would be concerned, a grimy dirty coin has more value than a coin cleaned with vinegar.&nbsp; On the other hand, to the more casual collector who is simply trying to fill the holes in their Whitman penny book (and willing to put down very small amounts of cash to fill in those elusive holes that they can&#039;t get filled), I think most of them would far prefer a cleaned coin that looks nice than a grimy one in it&#039;s natural condition.&nbsp;&nbsp; And that&#039;s the most I would ever expect to get from a 1959-1981 penny, though you&#039;re right error coins are quite different.&nbsp; I guess if I&#039;m not checking for that I could be making a mistake.&nbsp; Thanks for the link though, I&#039;ll check that out more and do some more investigation on this...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
