We do not want to hang for you to polish coin. To be clear, NEVER polish or clean coins. Rare circumstances warrant it IF you know what you are doing. So, unless you enjoy devaluing them, never ever ever clean coins. Tell everyone you know that has an interest in coins the same. U.S, British, Mexican, tokens, silver, aluminum, copper, steel........ doesn't matter. Never clean. Never!

This has been a public service announcement for the prevention of perfectly good coins being ruined by the millions from polishing/cleaning. We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

No, of course I don't want you hung for cleaning coins. I never condemned you or what you were doing in any way and I was just offering an honest suggestion that would be cheaper for you than buying uncleaned/unaltered/undamaged coins and polishing them and would also save original coins from being cleaned.no need to get offended friend. in response to you saying they were all rubbish grade anyway to me the grade doesn't matter that much, it's the history being destroyed/altered. I'm glad you've decided to not clean any coins anymore. thank you. silver going up or down is hard to predict, ith all due respect I'm not as sure as you are the price is going to increase enough to make the coins you've already cleaned on other threads bullion value to equal or exceed the numistatic value destroyed when you cleaned them.

you could buy already damaged(cleaned) coins for close to bullion price and polish them to your hearts content, you lose no money and no history is destroyed


This is good advice, especially if you feel that you'll get the most enjoyment out of polishing your coins. There are plenty of silver coins available where the damage has already been done.
