cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 2:00 pm It appears that the coins you are posting have been cleaned with something like "Brasso". It nearly destroys a coin's value by cleaning them this way. Collectors would much rather have a natural coin in all it's natural beauty and toning than a cleaned one. Report this Post to the Staff

Anita Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 08/18/2016 02:30 am I don't have a clue as to what brasso is. You should see the coins I run into. Such disrespect for coins.#128542; Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 08/18/2016 08:07 am Brasso has been around for close to a century . It is a cleaner and polisher for Brass and Copper and perhaps other metals . It's kind of harsh and no one should use it on coins for any reason . And I am not saying you used it on this coin ! Report this Post to the Staff
