mrthrills Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 6:46 pm 1. Is it worth cleaning these pennies? 2. If so is there a way to mass clean them? Way too many to do one at a time. 3. Should I just go through them and try to pick out key dates? Many are so dirty I would have to clean them a little just to see the date. 4. TY for any suggestions you may have.

Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 6:48 pm Sorry but these all look like spenders to me. Even if there was a mint error, this level of damage would remove most or all of the added numismatic value.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 7:44 pm Cleaning coins ruins any numismatic value they may have had anyway, so not worth anything in this condition. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 7:49 pm Some call his sort of 'dirty' ugly patina, some call it light surface corrosion. Either way, impossible to clean anyway. If CRH'ing only pick one or two of the very best examples. Same thing with very minor errors and varieties. The best examples don't need anything done to improve them, and will loose value if you do. Report this Post to the Staff
