<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Harryj, post: 412974, member: 14623&quot;]No offense taken... I have cleaned a few coins in my day. If a coin is deteriorating due to bronze disease then I probably would clean it, unless it was valuable. In that case I would take it to an expert as I am far from one.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sometimes cleaning can strip the natural patinia of a coin especially if it is done improperly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do know that a coin cleaned to the point where any of the major grading services detect the cleaning, It will be rejected or slabbed with cleaning comments as the case with ANACS. The bottom line is cleaning a coin decreases it value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
