<p>[QUOTE="D-Train, post: 2713564, member: 86758"]OK guys, I can't believe there is nothing in the FAQ about "should I clean my coins or not?". I realize that most collectors prefer uncleaned coins and that cleaning a coin GREATLY reduces it's value. However if I don't plan to resell my coins and just want eye appeal for my own satisfaction what does everyone recommend? I know there are "approved" ways to clean a coin, such as using plain water and dabbing at the coin instead of wiping it to remove surface grime. I also understand that toning is desireable. But if I get a coin with black spots on it and want to clean it so it looks better I have found a few different coin cleaning solutions and wonder what is the best?</p><p>I've seen e-Z-est, MS70, Conserv Safe Coin Cleaner, Lindner Best Coin Cleaning Solution, Nic-A-Lene, Speedip, among several others.
