<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluenose, post: 354889, member: 13428&quot;]I&#039;ve read this entire thread and found it to be extremely helpful. Thanks everyone for all the input.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, about my specific 1885 Morgan. Some of you have, no doubt, seen the pictures in the &quot;How much is it worth?&quot; forum of my grubby little fingers right on the obv and rev. It seems that I made a common newbie error of thinking that low-value coins don&#039;t need to be handled carefully. I figured as long as I didn&#039;t drop it or bang it on any hard surfaces then I wasn&#039;t doing any damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, to be sure I&#039;ve understood this thread, is it okay for me to do the 3-stage acetone dip (as outlined by GDJMSP) for 15-30 secs each dip to get rid of finger oils? If so, how long to I have before the oils start damaging the coin? I bought it last Saturday (3/29) so it&#039;s had finger oils on it since then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
