<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneycostingmemoney, post: 2784566, member: 86367&quot;]Hey, I remember you... Thanks for your input, but I&#039;ll take words on maturity from those that aren&#039;t young enough to be one of mine. That didn&#039;t mean that young people can&#039;t be mature, but if you were you would know that saying something like that to someone that is older than you isn&#039;t a smart thing to do. You open yourself up to a slew of learning that obviously hasn&#039;t happened to you yet, so I&#039;ll take it easy. You&#039;re wrong. You are answering a loaded question with one word. You don&#039;t have enough information to form a direct and intelligent answer. What kind of coins are they trying to clean? Is that how they want to build their collection? Understanding and maturity come from experiences and upbringing. It&#039;s something you can&#039;t rush or force...it just is what it is when it is time. You can think that oil from your skin will melt your coins...I&#039;m not going to kill that Easter bunny for you. I just ask that you reflect on something for a minute. It requires no knowledge of chemistry or metallurgy (different from numismatology). Imagine what coins are and what they do, where they go and how long they last. Think of all the hands and trays and bags and pockets that have touched them thousands upon thousands and thousands of times. Does it seem logical to you that if you are already protecting it that you can&#039;t touch it? And by it I mean the obverse and reverse of the coin. I can see wiping it before placing it in a sealed slab or other protective casing so that the oil doesn&#039;t, OVER TIME, damage the natural coloring of the coin, but do you honestly think that the skin on your fingers is so tough and strong that you can damage or wipe the devices clean off of it? See that is an example of a non-loaded question. All the angles are covered and give you the opportunity to form a direct and intelligent answer if you have one you want to share.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
