<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JDcompy, post: 24885868, member: 152162&quot;]I&#039;m sorry it seems that way; it isn&#039;t. I have some dark copper wheat leafs that (when I show my elderly father, the only person who has any interest in seeing my coins) are too dark to read easily. And, even to me, they are very dark. I don&#039;t want to use straight copper cleaner because it gives them a fake color that is unappealing. And, in my heart, I have always felt a disdain for &quot;cleaning&quot; without doing it right. So, for those coins, and one set of British pennies (that I buy for about 20 cents a piece) I wanted to clean them up a bit to be easier to read and view. As for toning, I&#039;ve always been fascinated by the toning that some coins get and have wanted to play around on some rounds for fun. Then, I thought it might be fun to make a &quot;set&quot; of penny/nickel/dime/etc. Along with my binders of each denomination, I have one binder of random weird coins. The intention is to put them in that binder. That&#039;s all. I see this is a sensitive topic and it&#039;s a shame others in the past have ruined the fun for those of us who really are just looking for personal entertainment. But, not <i>everyone</i> is that way. I&#039;d like to hope that as you see more posts from me, you&#039;ll get to know me better and understand who I am as a person and as a collector and that &quot;cleaning and toning coins&quot; isn&#039;t a full picture of me. I also don&#039;t want to argue back and forth. If you&#039;ve already cemented an opinion of me, then that&#039;s that. It&#039;s fine. </p><p><br /></p><p>I apologize for bringing up multiple sensitive topics in such a short span of time. I&#039;ll try to keep the sensitivity more in mind when posting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
