If numismatists - those expert in coin collecting and valuation � agree on one thing, it's that coins should never be cleaned. Every coin dealer has horror stories about a non-collector who comes into his shop with a box of shiny old coins.

It's a former beauty because whatever value it once had has been scraped off by an excited finder and a jar of silver polish. The coin, which might have been worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, is now all but worthless.
