<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hairy Houdini, post: 25595487, member: 97506&quot;]I have one more question. I hope it&#039;s OK to post it here, rather than starting a new thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s about whether to &quot;clean&quot; the coins and, if so, how and with what.</p><p><br /></p><p>One person told me that the coins should be cleaned with a special solution and a soft brush and the collector should always wear gloves when handling the coins. I see quite a few &quot;coin cleaning kits for collectors&quot; on Amazon, although they mostly use some kind of pencil.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another person said to never clean coins. It is important to leave the &quot;patina&quot; on them. I asked what to do if the patina is so dark that I can&#039;t read the text on the coin. He said to use a pencil eraser.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, who is right? Do I need to buy my grandson any kind of cleaning kit? And what about gloves?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
