<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1299737, member: 15929&quot;]I seriously doubt that you imparted any &quot;real&quot; damage to these commonly available Morgan Dollars that you&#039;ve already overpaid for. ( I just paid $55 for an MS63 Graded Morgan vs your $69 for a raw MS60-63 Morgan.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The way folks refer to coins you&#039;d think the things would dissolve on your pocket but the reality is that these are metal and are very difficult to scratch with cloth much less lens cloth. If anything at all, such an action would tend to push dirt or film around on the coin which would leave &quot;evidence&quot; of what was done but certainly not outright scratching.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, silver is a soft metal but how often are folks forgetting that these were shipped loosely in canvas bags, which are much stiffer and certainly much more abrasive than cloth, from their production mints? Then they were tossed around countless times in bank vaults and each movement caused rubbing against the canvas bag? Were these coins now &quot;AU&quot; or or folks simply over-reacting to the thought that you took a lens cloth to the surface of your coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
