<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2638702, member: 4920"]Just an opinion but that difference between cleaning and conserving is a big load of semantic malarkey. NCS cleans coins. Period. That article, "scientifically proven," my tail end! There are harsh methods of cleaning and not-so-harsh. "Acceptable?" Boy, there's being kind to oneself in one's own mind. Let's not confuse this for the rest of us because some of us have to play pretentious word games to justify their staying in business. I'll clean my coins the way I want to clean them and I won't deceive anybody because in my mind it's conservation and as such I'm not ethically obliged to disclose what I did to it. Even your formula should be disclosed to the buyer when selling the coin. But that's the big, big thing nobody considers. If the coin is cleaned, you have to disclose. If you can twist your mind into calling it conserved, great for you, you don't have to disclose. Tell me that's not how it works, the ethic. Tell me that's not why the strong need to differentiate, as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
