The fact that all ancient coins have been cleaned already allows us to dispense with so much of the nonsense about cleaning and “details” that makes modern collecting less fun.&nbsp; For us ancient collectors it is about how much cleaning we prefer based on our own tastes.&nbsp; My tastes are pretty broad so long as the coin is interesting to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can’t ruin a coin by cleaning it IMO.&nbsp; You can only make it uglier. For those who feel differently, I invite you all to send me all your “ruined” coins and I’ll dispose of them for you.&nbsp; Free of charge <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
