<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maggie123, post: 1080456, member: 27401&quot;]<b>nl 50 cent piece</b></p><p><br /></p><p>thats fine if you wish to ignore me because i admited that i tryed something as an experiment,thats fine. i have 2 coins that i washed to see what they would be like out of my collection of about 900 coins.i wasnt trying to justify that what i done is cool or ok to do, but from a stand point of owning something and deciding to try to make something look more appealing to my own eye i think is a personal decision that i was tottaly intitled to do.the coin&nbsp; or shall i say the 2 coins i have tryed to clean i have 7 of one and 5 of the other. so to me it was a total experiment. the question i asked was in the cleaned state now. if that coin was not cleaned and looked the way it is now with marks,what would be the grading of it. seems you took my decision as a personal thing. question to all has there ever been any cleaned or coins in the history of coin collecting that have been graded or sold for a fair dollar regardless of cleaning? or does the grading companies just send them back and say sorry looks like your coin was washed.and that we dont want your business..im new and i wish to learn.from my post i have learned a major no no when dealing with coins. i intentionally did not down grade anyone if they have ever tryed it..now im confused because i feel discriminated against .when im like i said trying to learn, asking questions and giving my opinion.if one was to teach other or lay out rights and wrongs. i feel ignoring me does the opposite then helping me understand. and when i read about people and acetone being used .i feel confused. i assume if you find a rare coin with soil and dirt on it i should put it in a folder and show people how wonderful my coin looks like that.thats why i cleaned the coin in the first place it was an experiment.and what do i get a big black mark above my post in the coin talk community...just my feeling. sorry and maybe i should look else where when asking someonew to help teach me .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
