I thought that it was considered as "Bad Form" to clean a coin, But " apparently" a grading firm can do it and it is OK . Sounds a wee bit dodgy to me Especially when these are the people that slab the coins and make the grading decisions on that coin. Report this Post to the Staff
DM1975 Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 02/17/2012 12:43 am There is cleaning... And there is conserving. Having worked at a museum for a while I really can appreciate good conservation skills, although sadly many people employees as such often can do more harm that good due to competence, or lack thereof.

They lasted 40-50 years, if they're common, odds are good you'll be able to buy similar coins for a lot less than $20 plus $30 for certification. Report this Post to the Staff
