<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vroomer2, post: 1249751, member: 80251&quot;]You all are being too hard on him. I use to scream the DO NOT CLEAN mantra, but have stopped.</p><p>Why? Sometimes, people need to learn the hard way what they did was wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Take your coins to a show where the PCGS and NGC are taking submissions. Recommend using the PCGS as you will get more money when you go to sell the slabs, er, I mean coins. Get them graded. When you get them back, post the results. Finally, go sell them to a dealer or on eBay or some place and post the results.</p><p><br /></p><p>News flash: <b>you&#039;re permanently altered the surface of the coin</b>. There is nothing you can do to &quot;unscratch&quot; it. Over time, that &quot;badly tarnished spot&quot; will come back and always look like a dull gray. A collector will take a loupe to the area to inspect what is wrong with this coin and will see the scratches. Your coin now has a much worse problem than toning and is thus, &quot;<b>a problem coin</b>.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
