What's Wrong With This ASE?

This cannot be overstated. People new to coins do not understand the risk they take when cleaning a coin - and anyone posting here is seen as knowledgeable. It's fine, great, and wonderful to express opinions and what you do, but a warning of the potential consequences should be included.

1)I am not dipping coins, I experimented and it doesn't work. I know what it does. It ruins coins. I am saying BULLION, no numismatic value. Only melt value. In general, dirty, discolored, toned, bullion will sell at a discount to spot. That has been my experience.

2)I said I might be so inclined to try to remove that dirty look from themand I have never said "dipping/polishing/scrubbing/wiping" about coins. YOU SAID THAT. You are accusing me of something I didn't type. I've read a lot of threads on THIS forum and others of what are acceptable ways to remove dirt and such. There is a member here that sells a product to "conserve" coins. Which he said is not easy to do. He explains how to "properly" prepare the coin for his product.

3) "PS. The Sarcastic remark of "O, never clean coins" is rather moot and a bit ridiculous, given your stand on the subject."
My stand is not to do it(ie. clean coins), I have seen the "never clean coins" by members of the "community". So if I say it is "Sarcastic" to you, but it is fine for anyone else? I do not appreciate the "bit ridiculous part".

4)

You don't understand, that is the real problem. I don't have any coins, that I know of, that have been dipped.
I like toning that has eye appeal. I like iridescent toning, rainbow toning, and some other color types. I really like original mint luster, mint state, new unc and Proof commemorative coins, and silver Proof sets.

4) Keep your "community". You have the freedom of not having to read my threads, post, or reply to them.

5) You made your point, I have made mine. Let's keep it civil and stay out of each others way.

6)If you do want to be civil. You can play the keyboard tough guy, you can click on send an email. But, let us not continue this on the op's thread.

I think I have clarified any misunderstandings.

I will reiterate to never clean coins.

I'm a tough guy in real life also. You want to go down that road today

I retired 1 year ago. 24 Years US Army. I cooked grits, changed light bulbs, and made scrambled eggs. I serve as a DAC now.

I didn't cook. I did that stuff to insurgent and taliban in the T box with the M24 and a Barrett.

1SG/E-8. I cooked peoples brains, turned off their light bulb, and made scrambled eggs with velocity. The T box is on a persons face, eyes and nose. I served in many different units.

In OIF, I did some operations with some shooters and spotters from the 1st MEF. They were a lot of fun. We sat on a target for 3 days before we got some action.

I just told my USMC shooters to say Sergeant unless it shined, then say Sir/Ma'am. If something was in the middle of all the stripes just say Sergeant Major. If they are a lower rank they will just tell you. Most the time when I worked with Marines, we spent out of the wire. We never had to worry about ranks. We tried to stay in houses and self support.
It was nicknames on internal and callsigns on the net. The Marine Scout/Sniper is highly trained and a joy to work with.

........ What are the odds, lol... I'd like to thank both of you for your service
