<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3442608, member: 112&quot;]You&#039;ll find countless reports of people saying to use a rose thorn or a toothpick, and yes even brushes to help remove stuff from coins. Does it work ? Sure it does, but that doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s a good idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>But ask yourself, what is the first cardinal rule of coin collecting ?&nbsp; It to never touch the surface of the coin, and when you hold it, you ONLY hold it by the edges. The reason for that is so you do not damage the coin. And nobody, absolutely nobody, ever argues against this.</p><p><br /></p><p>So now ask yourself, given that, how can it possibly be a good idea to use a brush, a toothpick, or a rose thorn on the surface of a coin ? Rather obviously it cannot. But it&#039;s &quot;easier&quot; and faster than than doing things the right way. And it&#039;s just that simple, that&#039;s why they do it and then claim it&#039;s OK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
