<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2547579, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;ve never been a fan of &quot;patting&quot; a coin dry - not with anything. The first rule of coin collecting is that you do not touch the surface of the coin - not ever, and not with anything. And that includes all situations, and toothpicks, and Q-tips, and rose thorns, and fingers, and any cloths of any kind - not anything means NOT ANYTHING !</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the question of how to dry a coin ? My recommended method has never changed. The final step after any type of proper cleaning is to rinse the coin in distilled water. Then place a towel of soft cloth on a counter top, stand the coin on edge on the cloth, and lean it up against the back splash. Then just let it dry overnight. By standing it on edge all the water runs off and the coin dries spot free. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have done this more times than I can count, and there is never a problem. With any and all other methods I have also tried, there sometimes, stress sometimes, is a problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now rather obviously others disagree with these comments. And that&#039;s fine, they are welcome to their own opinions. But that&#039;s mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
