<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boxeldercoin, post: 1246631, member: 28494&quot;]I will post a thread that seems to be the hot topic on this site. Is cleaning or conserving a coin the right thing to do to any coin. I do not believe you should clean any coins. And yes some will say that they have to acetone their coin to save them and that is fine with me as long as they don&#039;t try to sell them at a later date as original never been cleaned coins. A few dealers will do this often and everyone that buys these coins complains when they send the coin in to be graded and find out the coin they bought from that dealer was dipped or conserved. I believe most coins are dipped so someone can sell them for a higher price. And I know that most Morgans have been dipped, even in some slabs, but that makes finding a original Morgan that much nicer. Lets face it 100 year old coins and older are not blast white. The new term used at a lot of shows for original coins is crusty not snow white. And I have a problem with anyone telling someone else to clean their coins when you do not know if they have the experience to clean them the proper way. I just looked at a complete set of Lincolns, 1909-s VDB was fine, 1914-D was a vg and the 1922 plain was great except the owner of these coins was told by someone to clean them up so he soaked them over night in ketchup and than use a SOS to touch them up. BIG mistake! This is the problem with free advice, the person giving the advice has nothing to lose. I am not a big fan of NGC or NCS but if you must clean or conserve your coins LET THEM DO IT.:devil:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
