mshev Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 05/11/2011 11:43 pm Because they can sell the solution to noobs :) Or someone can buy it and sell the cleaned coins to noobs at markups... I'm sure there is a small actual need for the solution (there are rare instances where the coin is so ugly the cleaning is better), but it's definitely used incorrectly more often than not.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19944 Posts	Posted 05/12/2011 09:21 am Because problem coins exist. The problem is most people end up ruining a perfectly good coin by improperly cleaning it. There can be exceptions to the rule of "don't clean coins". Each coin and technique must be evaluated on a case by case basis. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

If coin cleaning is taboo, why is it that you see coin cleaning product floating around? A simple answer is if you have something to sell, someone will usually buy it. There are many products on the market that are, or should be, not even there but if not illigal, why not. Ever watch HSN on TV? They have had items on there that I just laughed at and if true, they sell thousands of them. Someone I know tends to buy almost anything advertised on TV. I asked why since he doesn't use most of them. His only answer was it looked like a great deal. Report this Post to the Staff
michaeln1306 Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 05/12/2011 9:16 pm Thanks for the response all.... So the bottom line is that it's a ploy. Report this Post to the Staff

It's called buisness. If you picked up a pile of dirt outside and put it up for sale, eventually someone or many would buy that. Ask around. There are always people that buy things and don't even know why. Edited by just carl 05/13/2011 10:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
