<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 556360, member: 4552"]As to cleaning any coin, mostly said already. My way of looking at cleaning a coin is mostly dependant on a few things. If the coin is not really valuable, nothing you plan on selling, want to see what it could look like, etc. then why not. Naturally if a coin is or could be valuable, best leave it alone. If you do have a coin that could use cleaning and no real value, then it is actually interesting to experiment. You would find out this way that so many people with claims of how they cleaned a coin may or may not be even the slightest bit true. Also, if you do clean a coin you would learn what a cleaned coin looks like so when you want to purchase a coin and it has been cleaned, better chance you would notice that. </p><p>I would suggest if you do plan on cleaning any coins at all you first start with non volitile, non explosive subtances regardless of how many suggest those. Remember if something goes wrong, those that recommended that substance will not pay for your hospital bills, help rebuild your house and wouldn't even send a get well card.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
