glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 12/02/2012 2:50 pm It's quite common place for non collectors to believe a cleaned coin is worth more than a dark toned one. I know a dealer who once said that the # 1 question he's been asked by non-Numismatists over the years is: "Will I get more for my coins if I clean 'em"? Glenn Report this Post to the Staff
Dcadon Rest in Peace Canada 1360 Posts	Posted 12/02/2012 4:06 pm I remember doing that once - I then turned 8 and realized I was wrong to clean my coins. I still have some of them, and they have "re-aged" quite nicely!'' Edited by Dcadon 12/02/2012 4:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

That Canadian Guy Valued Member Canada 156 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 8:35 pm Lots of my friends ask me about cleaning coins and I let them know it is something that generally should not be done. I always tell them that cleaning coins is for noobs. Edited by That Canadian Guy 12/04/2012 8:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
