Hello. Looking for some advice for correctly handling coins that came directly from the mint. I sell these on ebay and want to "do right" for my customers and certainly dont want to do anything to diminish the value of the coins. I carefully take the coins out of the mint tubes and put them in air-tites or flips using white cotton gloves. So far, so good. On a couple I have noticed smudges or dust so I wipe them off with a suede cleaning cloth. I have read on a few posts on this forum about not polishing or cleaning coins. Am I doing anything wrong by wiping them with the cloth? Thanks in advance!
They're probably scratched. Look at them with a loupe under cross lighting. You'll probably be able to see where you wiped them.
