Popular Post J P M Posted November 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2021 Here on the forum I cant help but cringe when I see a new member ask how to clean a coin. If you have to ask you should not be doing it. I see so many wonderful coins for sale that say Genuine Details it kills me to think what that coin would be worth if it was just left alone. Here is one of my favorite coins. I thought it was so cool that it was so beet up and dirty and graded I had to have it , I paid more than I wanted to for it but I still got a good deal. Now the dirt actually accents the features of the coin and it becomes a beautiful coin. It has a grade and it is true..... So standing here on my soap box I say this. Please don't clean your coins let them be and maybe down the road someone will end up with a VF 25 forever keeper.

Mr.Bill347 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 You are right JP the grunge actually enhances the detail on your coin. I am sending in the 2021 Cc Morgan the 2021 Peace, that 1887 Morgan that was Vam suspected and a 1998 ASE proof. Here are to grungy British Victoria Double Florins as a good example. One has a Roman 1 and the other an Arabic 1. wish me luck and nude find! Fenntucky Mike and Modwriter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one looks to be a nice coin for the age and type. Thank you. I knew about the ding in the rim, not sure about cleaning but as old as it is, probably. I’m not submitting them but I have a bunch of British coins now most of the pre-decimalization. Coins but this one has the rather unusual story of the mistaken Roman 1 which they changed to an Arabic 1 the same year and that fascinated me.
