<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1299041, member: 112&quot;]By wiping the coins you did exactly that. And that&#039;s the important part for you to remember. Never wipe the coins - with anything. And that goes for circulated coins too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the deal pw. That Morgan with the scratch you are talking about - even though the coin had a scratch, it may have still been gradeable, depending how severe the scratch was. But, by wiping the coin you have added what we call hairlines to the coin. And hairlines (those caused by wiping anyway) are a sign that the coin has been harshly cleaned. And a harshly cleaned coin is not gradeable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even when you pick up your coins you never want to touch the surface of the coin. You always pick up and hold your coin by the edges <u>only</u> ! That is an ironclad rule - edges only.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
