You are correct, I misspoke on that. But it doesn't matter, it will have the same effect - it will hairline the coins.
I should have added one more thing. If you think putting mineral oil coins is acceptable or would be OK, try putting some on a coin and then...
Try a little experiment on your own. Get some new copper cents from change. And get yourself a soft brass brush, you'll find them in most hardware...
Yup.
I have to strongly disagree with this. Using a brush of any kind can and will hairline the coins. The surface of the coins should never be touched...
Only if and when one chooses to interpret it that way. It an just as easily be interpreted to be about the coins.
No. Yes. Tap water is prone to causing spots on coins once it's dried, even when it's dried properly. And, it's also possible that minerals and...
Try a paint store, and I mean a store that only sells paint and paint products. If they don't have it I will be extremely surprised.

What a lot of folks don't seem to understand is this - it doesn't matter if you can tell one from the other or not. You see, planchet marks are...
Yeah it works alright. And so do all the other prescribed methods and steps for proper cleaning. Just make sure you always remember that none of...
Ridiculous logic like that is apparently what makes you think the way you do. Grades in school are supposed to be based on averages, that is the...
Aint gonna happen. It's about as likely as getting you to realize they are not. Nor can they be - if there are standards being followed. But when...
I do that because that's what standards are all about Paul. For a coin to be worthy of any grade, it has to meet all of the criteria required for...
OK, here's an observation from me. What you're describing goes a long ways towards explaining why coin dealers get such a bad rap from a lot of...
Yeah, I do see what ya mean. But you apparently do not see what I mean. For example, look at the date stamp on this -...
Thanks for the kind words Cheech. I simply say what I say in an effort to help others learn.
Ya know, I'm sitting here smiling to myself because I think I could have written this entire thread by myself, right down to predicting who would...
Separate names with a comma.
