My three favorite ladies. All found in the same year, same store, same register. The pride of my collection. Especially the 20.

    All three have been cleaned. I hope you are not cleaning your finds.

    All glory is fleeting.
  • I am because I do not intend on selling. I know it lowers the value.

  • The first one I found, asked dude if he wanted the change. He says, its takes a penny and half to make a penny. Pennies are ruining the economy. I said ight boss and scooped it. Lol that's why I love my job. People leave all the goodies.

    Even if you do not intend to sell, this comment hurts to read.

  • Lol I'm sorry @pursuitofliberty. I hear it all the time. Trust me. I truly understand the need to keep them original. But I just hate not being able to see my history lol and I'm new and don't know what the a tag line is lol

  • @TomB thank you tom.. I've been hearing it forever. I have not intetion on resale. I strickly collect. All my silver stays polished. I like to see my history. And plus, in the very long run. It's the precious metal I'm more interested in. If and when the dollar crashes. It's melting time.

  • Also, merc dimes don't have an insane payout. It's not like I've got a 16-D

  • Dude! @joeykoins. Someone today said I remind them of you. Don't know of or why. This is my first day lmao. It's in one of my post. Thank you sir.

  • For you. Yes. Not me. I love that my 100 year old is gleaming and extremely visible. I understand the beauty of it. But I don't want that in my collection. Thank you Again Todd. 😊

    Many collectors feel that we are only stewards of our collections, protecting the coins for future generations of collectors. That might seem a little trite, but look at the shear number of posts that discuss really nice coins that have been cleaned and now reside in "details" holders. Really nice, significant coins permanently damaged because somebody wanted them to look nice

    The good news is your coins appear to be tied to bullion value, so cleaning doesn't do much to reduce the value as @TomB said.
    Personally, I don't enjoy looking at coins that the owner has knowingly damaged, and I suspect many others feel the same way. Something to consider

  • 🤯 I knew people didn't like it. But Chirst. I'm sorry you are all so offended. Coin collecting is a dying bread. I literally know no one, I'm sorry that you have some weird future connection to it and I'm "destroying" it for you all. The majority of collectors die, goes to kids that typically don't care. Either gets sold or back into circulation and destroyed and lost forever. One day, doesn't matter what It is. All the worlds coins aren't gonna be worth a damn.

  • This is why I haven't been on fb or have used any social media since 12' everyone has to be so judgmental and has to interject their superiority.

  • ifthevamzarockinifthevamzarockin Posts: 8,843 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Well you have figured out cleaning isn't popular around here and it's best not to do it. :D

    On circulated coins tied to bullion or other coins of little numismatic value if you like them better go ahead and clean them.
    It will be many years before someone is hoping to find a 1942 dime in VF with an original skin, and even then they should be able to find dozens.

    The best idea is to use caution and do a little research before you clean them, it would suck if you found a $1,000 dime and improved the look down to $500. You can always clean it later once done you can't un-clean it. Now that you are here you can post photos and see if the experts here notice anything about your coin before you clean it. ;)

    yeah, well, keep those cleaning agents away from your 1916-D mercury and such

    Your coins, your choice. But posting it in a forum like this would elicit such responses because it is considered blasphemy and a dis-service to them. ;)

    Nice change finds.... You certainly are entitled to do as you wish with your coins. Just understand that it bothers most collectors. I also prefer blast white silver coins... However, I do not clean my coins, I just search for those well preserved ones. Cheers, RickO

    If you must have your coins without any natural toning or tarnish at least look into a safer way. Rubbing, polishing, and wiping are dreadful practices. Buy some e-Z-est and follow directions.
