<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1477479, member: 112&quot;]Well, let me put it this way. I&#039;ve seen the TPGs body-bag F, VF, and even G coins when they had been wiped or rubbed with a cloth. And I&#039;ve seen them slab and grade the same coins when they had not been wiped or rubbed with a cloth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, any cloth, I don&#039;t care how soft you think it is, will leave tell tale traces on even well circulated coins. And a brush, any brush, even the finest, softest artist&#039;s brush you can find, will do the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see, on the MS or Proof coins the cloth or brush is doing the damage. On a circulated coin you not only have the fine marks that will be left on the coin by the cloth or brush, you also have the grit from the dirt that is on the circulated coin. And once it is loosened up and it starts moving around the surface of that circulated coin - well, you might as well be using a piece of sandpaper. </p><p><br /></p><p>So the effects of doing it to a circulated coin is even worse than it is on an MS coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
