<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1757177, member: 112&quot;]Never, ever, wipe a coin with anything ! You should never even touch a coin except on the edges.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To get dust off a coin yes you can use canned air, but you must do so carefully, making sure to hold the can completely upright. Otherwise some of the propellants can squirt out and get on the coin, and that&#039;s not good for the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can also just blow it off with your mouth, but again carefully. For if any saliva droplets, even ones you can&#039;t see come out and get on the coin, the coin will develop spots later on.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Probably the safest way to remove dust, especially from a Proof is to rinse the coin in distilled water, NOT tap water. Then stand the coin on edge on a soft towel, lean it up against the back splash on your counter top and let it air dry overnight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
