Wanna see a good example of a really poorly cleaned coin?

This has got to be one of the worst cleanings I've seen in a long time.
Twenty-cent pieces many times are cleaned white, especially in coin show inventories. This one is one of the most disgusting examples I've ever seen.

Spic and Span, followed by a light cleaning with a SOS soap pad, smoothed over with Palmalove Dish washing liquid (by the way you're soaking in it), then bleached with Chlorox.
= a nice bright coin

That's not what I would call blast white........no luster at all. I agree about the bleach.
