<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afm1982, post: 618428, member: 15483&quot;]I thank the group for its collective wisdom, and the willingness to share the knowledge. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, there is one thing that isn&#039;t sitting right. What I&#039;m hearing is that using a soft cloth is bad, as it will leave &#039;scratches&#039;/&#039;hairs&#039;, etc... on coins, and that it should never be used on uncirculated coins. If y&#039;all will indulge me, but I&#039;d like to understand how that could be. It&#039;s been a while since I was in college, and even though it was Florida State (go Noles!) I did manage to take a real geology class. One of the principles learned was that only harder substances can scratch softer ones.</p><p>Is a silver coin softer than a cotton sock/cloth?</p><p><br /></p><p>(I ask merely out of intellectual curiosity. I&#039;m not trying to be rude or question the overwhelming good knowledge of the group.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
