<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Cribbs, post: 4240499, member: 90795&quot;]Good afternoon, I hope this finds everyone doing well.&nbsp; I was on here reading some posts when the topic was broached about buying foreign coins and receiving them through the mail.&nbsp;&nbsp; Another member said that they could wipe down their coins with antibacterial sanitizer that would be fine.</p><p>&nbsp; I enjoy going through rolled coins and pocket change looking for possible errors or hidden gems.</p><p>&nbsp; Honestly, I have not done much searching since a case of COVI-19 has been found in the city I reside in.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; It has long been said, that simply rubbing a coin with with ones fingers and distilled water is considered cleaning and therefore the coin is no longer of numismatic value.</p><p>&nbsp; With what is happening with this virus, is wiping coins down with hand sanitizer considered cleaning?&nbsp; Hand sanitizer is definitely more harsh than distilled water.</p><p>&nbsp; I hope I am not opening a can of worms I am simply looking for a little guidance in this matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
