Silverskunk Pillar of the Community United States 745 Posts	Posted 04/28/2025 08:15 am Is there "ever" a reason to clean one ? Say for your own personal benefit os is it best to always just leave them alone ? I have some 1921's that have acquired some grub and grime I'd like to get rid of but also I want to keep the pleasing age toning. I suppose I have nothing to lose since they are little more then spot/melt value coins but they are my first Morgans and I want to keep them as mementos. I bought some Conserve solvent cause Ive heard good things about it but is there a better way to go about the cleaning more gently ? Thank you for any replys. Report this Post to the Staff

coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2829 Posts	Posted 04/28/2025 1:37 pm If you're going to "clean" your coins, practice on a cull first. At least that will give you an idea of what to expect, what not to do in the future, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
Silverskunk Pillar of the Community United States 745 Posts	Posted 04/28/2025 2:44 pm Thanks for the replys. I looked them over, well most of them, and they look either already cleaned or not in need of it. I don't want to burn out natural toning just to practice cleaning on coins that really don't need it. But I'll probably pick one out anyway and practice on it eventually. I have 12 right now and they are all basically spot weight culls, tho I have a few of interest. heck they are all of interest but I have a few Denver mint ones and I was at least able to practice with my Tomlov some.

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 04/30/2025 8:29 pm I've dipped MS Morgans with really ugly toning. Best case you get a "blast white" coin that grades clean and sells for a premium. Worst case you get a mottled coin that may or may not straight grade. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm dancing around this carefully learning as much as I can from the more experienced guys. I know it sounds silly but all my coins mean something to me, even my 1921 Morgans which are nothing special. I still enjoy looking at them. Report this Post to the Staff
