Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1677411, member: 112"]That's the problem, because with soaps, and other chemicals other than those I mentioned, some always remains behind, on the coin. There is nothing wrong with cleaning - and make sure you realize that there is a HUGE difference between cleaning and harsh cleaning, cleaning is just fine and does no harm to the coin, harsh cleaning does harm the coin - the dirt, grime, crud, whatever, off your coins. But the cleaning should be done properly so as not to harm the coin. But they are your coins, so if you want to scrub them, rub them, do and or use whatever you want to do to them to get the crud off - then go ahead and do it. And you will undoubtedly smile and say to yourself - they look so much better ! But just remember, they look better in your eyes. But in the eyes of somebody who knows coins they will always and forever look like coins that were improperly and or harshly cleaned. That right there is a very large part of why 80% of raw, collectible coins are problem coins.[/QUOTE]
