<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1293913, member: 33176"]Very interesting thread, because I am prone to cleaning my non-prime coins and in some cases have ended up with results that really looked "cleaned". I have followed the practice of carrying them in a pocket for some time to reverse the "cleaning" process. Don't know if that would fool an expert, however, and expert would never buy some of the coins I am talking about. The ethics problem does raise it's ugly head concerning whether to reveal the cleaning or not. When it gets to a point of paying the rent, this is a point I have faced before but never had the coinage to get me through it. One thing that occurs to me is to put the coin on e-bay saying that it possibly is cleaned - the only person who could be 100% certain that it was cleaned would be the cleaner - and see what the market is. You can put a minimum price on it so that you would not lose it for a song, and still be ethically sound.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
