SAFEGUARD AND PRESERVE YOUR SCARCE COINS! DO NOT CLEAN THEM!

Reminder: If you have old coins do NOT clean them, do not put your finger on the surface of the coin (it leaves a finger-print and oils that discolor the coin). Coins that have been cleaned, whizzed, brushed, kept in PVC envelopes, exposed to acid, cleaned by abrasives, or often even dipped in sliver cleaner have their value reduced considerably and in some cases become, for many collectors, valueless. Toned or "tarnished" coins should be left toned.
