<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1424119, member: 26302&quot;]Basically the answer to the OP is because you do not know how to do it correctly. Trust me, I was in your shoes when I started, and thought it would look better cleaned. I ruined some coins. Looking back I see why they are now ruined, and how I was wrong. </p><p><br /></p><p>The gist of your post is correct, the difference is everything you mentioned was the WRONG way to clean a coin. If you research some conservation techniques, read up about it, ask questions here on the right way to do it, and practice for a decade or two on circulation coins, then yes, coin conservation is very possible. </p><p><br /></p><p>DO NOT CLEAN COINS is basically written to stop new collectors from destroying coins, because they do not know how, why, or when to properly clean.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
