<p>[QUOTE=&quot;halfcent1793, post: 8170285, member: 86853&quot;]Speaking up for collectors of early copper, here. Nearly ALL of us brush our coins from time to time with Blue Ribbon/Care/Coin Care or the like. It is NOT done to deceive, as all of us know what our coins look like after a brushing. None of us are deceived in any way by looking at a copper brushed with oil. </p><p><br /></p><p>Collectors have been doing this for at least a century, and the coins have not in any way been harmed by the process.</p><p><br /></p><p>True, it doesn&#039;t last forever. So what? If you aren&#039;t interested enough in your coins to take them out once or twice a year and give them a light brushing, which will also get rid of dust and other crud that might cause corrosion, then you should sell them to someone who is. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to coat your coins with something permanent, which I do NOT recommend, try lacquer. Just don&#039;t expect anyone to think it was a good idea to lacquer your coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thus endeth the rant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
