<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Emoticon, post: 1494804, member: 38428&quot;]I have a couple buffalo nickels and mercury dimes and things like that that I&#039;ve pulled up over the years with a metal detector (I used to live at the beach so they were exposed to 50+ years of salt water). Some of them are so badly degraded that you can barely tell what they are, like below &quot;G&quot; grade. Will it still diminish the &quot;value&quot; if a coin with no date and whose features can barely be discerned is cleaned? I would at least like to get the mercs that I have to the point that you can actually tell they are silver, but for now I just keep them in a ziplock bag in a dusty corner of my safe. What do other detectorists do?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
