Saruma Pillar of the Community United States 968 Posts	Posted 03/30/2010 5:18 pm The advice that you should never clean a coin isn't accurate. Anyone that's gone metal detecting knows that you've got to clean some coins to even tell what they are. Coins often come out of the ground in an unrecognizable condition, especially copper ones. Cleaning those coins absolutely can increase the value. You have to do it the right way of course, but amazing results can be had. Check out this website, it discusses many methods of cleaning coins (some harsh, some very mild). Some of the before and after pictures are unbelievable! http://metaldetectingworld.com/clea...n_coin.shtml Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 04/01/2010 12:08 pm Hi all, haven't been here for a while. On the cleaning subject, a lot of the coins on the web (won't ID which one) claim to be UNC. There appear to be numberous curved marks on the coins which I believe make them AU candidates. How can you tell if a coin's been whizzed? Report this Post to the Staff
