<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26494798, member: 27832&quot;]I think one of the problems with cleaning (and advice on cleaning) is that it&#039;s easy to <i>think</i> you&#039;re doing no damage when you actually are.</p><p><br /></p><p>I kind of cringe when I hear the term &quot;gently rubbing&quot;, because yeah, it&#039;s <i>possible</i> to &quot;gently rub&quot; a coin without leaving damage, but it&#039;s a LOT easier to do it in a way that <i>does</i> leave marks. And even if you&#039;re doing it super-gently, there might be some grit on the coin, and if you drag that grit across the surface, you&#039;re going to get a scratch.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have specific advice myself, because I haven&#039;t ruined enough coins yet to know how to avoid doing it...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
