It is ok to soak your Johnson (perhaps even preferable); however, under no circumstances should you take an eraser to it, or use chemicals to remove markings. You should go to a doctor if you are considering getting your Johnson trimmed, but by no means should you submit to 3rd party grading if you have thin skin, a fragile backing, or suspect that your Johnson has been tampered with by anyone other than yourself. Those which are uncirculated and have never been out in the hobby community will retain a higher value by those who professionally judge Johnsons...but many collectors, you will learn, like the feel of their Johnsons, and for that reason alone, will not get them slabbed. So, whatever you do, always wash your hands after handling someone's Johnson, because chances are, you can't be certain of provenance!
