bmar Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 11:41 pm I have never cleaned a coin to where I felt the coin was ruined and most of the time the cleaning is because I can't read the date. I have a rag I keep handy to rub coins with that are tarnished and it is hard to read the date. So mostly the cleaning/polishing is an effort to read the date and especially the mint mark.

bmar Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 04/05/2017 11:30 pm Thank you to all for your excellent advice on coin cleaning. For now I will stick to very light cleaning when I am having trouble with dates and mint marks. I will be trying my luck with a metal detector soon, so I am guessing I will be back with a coin, that has been in the ground for years, seeking advice. Report this Post to the Staff
