I dunno...although I confess to doing a bit of soft/clean/gentle Kleenex rubbing to remove certain dirt/build-up and reveal a bit of luster, but without overdoing it to appear rubbed/buffed shiny. In essence, I make sure to rub out the rubs that might show under X-mag. Never had a rejection for a straight grade on the few select one&#039;s I&#039;ve done and submitted....&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>When an object like a coin for example has been &quot;properly cleaned&quot; (also referred to as &quot;conservation&quot;) no one can tell - apparently as you have done it.&nbsp; Not all conservation is undetectable. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
