<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 489722, member: 6370&quot;]Maybe, although certainly penny = one cent in 99% of the populations mind. I dont know if <b>cleaning </b>= <b>harsh cleaning</b> to most peoples mind, even in this hobby. You can often tell what they mean by the context.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For instance above, I believe borgova probably was serious (in a joking manner) when he said the coins was not worthless...just worth less, If I am wrong about that, my apologies. I just see so many people stating that &#039;cleaning&#039; ruins a coin...and I am not sure if the lions share of the people who say this DO mean harsh. Nor do I think new collectors or people looking for help with a coin would make that assumption either...When people are telling them DONT CLEAN THAT COIN!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But I shouldnt worry about it, I collect my way and for my reasons and how others see it or tell it isnt my concern. It may even help me if more and more people wont touch a cleaned coin, I get all the old coins to myself! sorry for the diversion. I dont want to start trying to enforce some subjective standard on people <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
