<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 119243, member: 3011&quot;]No chemical application or rubbing to clean dirt from coins is ever recommended.&nbsp; Hairlines will always show under magnification from any sort of friction, including cotton.&nbsp; However, if the coins are circulated and low value to begin with, there may be non-chemical and non-abrasive methods to clean bits of loose dirt, such as a jet of water followed by a rinse with distilled water followed by air-drying.&nbsp; If the coin is circulated to begin with, this might not decrease the value below what it was to start with.&nbsp; If the coin is uncirculated or about uncirculated, everything you do will probably decrease the value of the coin so don&#039;t do anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
