<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yossi schnitzer, post: 3070165, member: 94556&quot;]I have found myself with some coins that need cleaning and since i&#039;m new to collecting old coins i made some research on the web and dived into my first try of cleaning coins.</p><p>i have cleaned the dirt that was on the coin with water and brush and used a little sherp tool to clean more so i could make out what coin i have.</p><p>Now i have read that too much cleaning isn&#039;t good and collectors don&#039;t like a coin that has lost its patina and that&#039;s a no no to do.</p><p>In my cleaning i have taken some of the patina off (i&#039;m not sure you can see it on the coin&#039;s photo&#039;s) and in some place&#039;s i have reached the base metal of the coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]771382[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]771383[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I quite like the final result and the way my coins looks. </p><p>But since i take my coin collecting seriously and everywhere i have looked i have read that its wrong to do here is my question: is there such a thing as a coin too much cleaned? and what if i like it this way?</p><p>Please let me know your opinions so i&#039;ll know what to do in my next time i clean coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
