<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1298958, member: 26302&quot;]I completely hear what you are saying Doug, yet it needs to be clarified/modified. What you say is completely true for coins that are made in the last few hundred years. I just want to point out for medieval or ancient bronze with a patina its ok to wipe them. I have looked at coins under 16/32x stereo magnification before and after wiping, scratching with bamboo, even scratching with brass, and the patina that forms on ancient bronze is not the wimpy little modern patina. Even silver hardens with age and is unaffected by wiping. I have been too scared to wipe my ancient and medieval gold, so I cannot comment. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know this post is about a Morgan, and probably 99.9% of collectors here it is applicable to, I just wanted to clarify for the .1% of my peeps. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
