<p>[QUOTE="FrugalCO, post: 3033379, member: 93954"]Sherry, my first question regarding your coin collection is: "What do you plan to do with your inherited coin collection?" If you plan to keep it and pursue some further coin collecting and possibly trading your coins with others suchas in coin shows or a coin dealer in your local town, then don't clean them, they look perfectly fine to me! However, you should consider asking these folks if the so-called "dipping process" is the way to clean those grimy coins is best OR NOT. I personally prefer to wash coins in hot, soapy Dawn-filled water to release any potential grime, dirt, and debris that doesn't shake-off the coins. I don't believe in rubbing coins, hairline scratches deteriorate the coin's value. With this all being-said to you, I digress back into my CT corner and pay attention to all these "Experienced" CT members and listen to all that each-any-all-of-them-have-to-say with your cleaning post. Good Luck... and make sure your coin flips are PVC-Free so they don't contaminate your coin's metal-composition(s).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
