After you spend a little time back at this hobby you will learn what is safe and what is not, what is a desirable appearance and what is ugly. While you were gone toned coins became all the rage. A large portion of the collector community now prefers them to the old white standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, along the way professional graders began to body bag those improperly cleaned. So don&#039;t touch those you have.</p><p><br /></p><p>The trick to deciding what to leave alone, and what to keep and maybe conserve, versus what to give up on and sell for melt-value, is learning what is attractive and more scarce and therefore valuable. Stay away from home remedies.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can, show us more of your stuff. We love looking at original, unspoiled coins and advice around here is plentiful and generally wise.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
