<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beardigger, post: 3621180, member: 104605&quot;]Ok....educate me. I have been experimenting a little with cleaning coins while roll searching......would not even attempt it on anything in my collection.....but just some run of the mill quarters. so...I found a very dirty quarter...it was dirt, not patina....so I tried a&nbsp; drop of GermX on it and lightly rubbed it with my finger. The dirt (mostly came off.....it also worked with a recent fingerprint on one. I then patted it dry with a soft cotton towel. worked well on both coins, and I didn&#039;t detect any additional damage. I also took one and ran it under hot water to remove what looked like a glue residue. it came off too, then patted dry. Will a soft cotton towel scratch a coin?</p><p>What is the proper way to clean coins if needed. It seems to me acetone would be harsh.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
