[QUOTE="Insider, post: 3020032, member: 24314"]jwitten, posted: "NEVER wipe a coin off... with ANY cloth, or anything at all." This thread is too involved to get into. :( Here are some quick thoughts: Coins are not as delicate as we believe. Nevertheless, we can mar them if not very careful and no matter what you do or how careful you are you will eventually leave a trace. Much of the time it is the loosened debris from the coin itself or on the tool (rag, Q-tip) that does the bad deed. The poster I quoted above has good advice. However, get to a show when the copper dealers are setting up and watch them buff their treasures to make them pretty. This has been going on before any of us were born yet the coins still look original. Don't do anything to a coin unless its surface is very wet with whatever chemical you are using. That's why soaks and ultrasonic cleaners are so good.[/QUOTE]
