We've seen it so many times - a client brings in freshly cleaned coins only to find out that cleaning can actually lower the value, sometimes significantly.
Ron looks for a coin's original surface. Cleaning, even gently, can leave tiny scratches or remove the natural patina that helps determine authenticity and grade. What looks like "restoring" a coin can actually strip away part of what made it valuable.
If you're not sure what to do with a collection, the safest move is to leave it exactly as you found it and let Ron take a look first.
