<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Searcher64, post: 4566470, member: 21828&quot;]&quot;Cleaning&quot; or &quot;Conserving&quot;? Think the big guys say do not clean in any way. But, they find, or call what they do as &quot;Conserving&quot; the many coins and it&#039;s OK. But, the new and old collectors are not to conserve, as if they do, are then seen as cleaning any item. It&#039;s the money investors that keep this up. Just think now, how our collecting groups are not bringing in our young people to our hobby, and it too will over time die. Most of our club&#039;s members are old and we may have about two young Numismatic collectors today out of about 50 members. Sad. The US Mint has not helped much. I stopped buying because the big guys buy up most what the mint puts out and then post for quick profits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
