<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 9442, member: 487&quot;]Never rub a Qtip on a coin. Never wipe it at all. Buy a can of air. Make sure their are no propellents used such as alcohol. After two seconds (count) of air coming out of the can run the coin through the air using soft gloves. Proof coins need extra attention and any wipe mark will kill the value. I will include a good example of what a wipe does.</p><p><br /></p><p>The following pic is a 1960 Franklin. This coin would grade MS-65 FBL in any holder with one exception. Someone wiped the obverse with a cloth. Small lines run from left to right. Can&#039;t be seen with the naked eye, but the value was gone. </p><p><br /></p><p>Example:</p><p><br /></p><p>1960 MS-65 FBL trends at $475</p><p><br /></p><p>We sold this coin for $95.00</p><p><br /></p><p>Never ever clean or wipe a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
