<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 529385, member: 15199&quot;]Hi Punchy, welcome to the forum! May I ask why the coins need cleaning? I am sure you received the advice above to not clean the coins without knowledge of what can happen to the value of the coin. So are the coins &quot;new looking&quot;, low circulation, or older worn coins?&nbsp; Are they silver ( pre 1954 dimes, quarters, halves, silver dollars) or copper like lincoln cents, nickels, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the need because of dirt, grime, paint, corrosion, or toning ( colors)?</p><p><br /></p><p>If we know more, we can tell you more information. Most of &quot;cleaning&quot; is detrimental and irreversible, that is why everyone is reacting strongly, especially since you indicated you are new to this. Many of us have made the error of doing something we had no knowledge of and came to regret it.&nbsp; Hope to see some photos of these</p><p>needful coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
