<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 744332, member: 4552&quot;]It&#039;s true that those sonic cleaners will really, really clean your coins. Yes they may come out looking like a pretty, shinny coin. </p><p>Unfortuately they will also have lost about 75% of their value. </p><p>Remember that ANY cleaning of a coin does ruin the coin for many reasons. One is that much of the dirt, corrosion, contaminations, etc are a combination of the coins metal and other substances. When those are removed, so goes the coins metal which is in reality the coin. </p><p>If you watch the Antique Road Show on TV you will hear many times them saying &quot;If you hadn&#039;t of cleaned this item, it would be worth many times what it now is worth&quot;.</p><p>Yes you&#039;ll hear and see posts here and on other coin related web sites on how to clean your coins. Also, when reading them, remember that those saying that may, and usually don&#039;t, have any idea of what they are saying. You don&#039;t know them. If you ruin YOUR coins due to what someone says, TO BAD. They are your coins and many others just don&#039;t care. Usually won&#039;t even say SORRY, I just made that up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
