<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2093695, member: 19165&quot;]DO NOT DO THIS WITH ANY COIN THAT HAS COLLECTOR VALUE. </p><p><br /></p><p>Jewelry wipes are impregnated with a compound called &quot;rouge.&quot; This is an abrasive, and any use on a coin WILL leave hairlines. These hairlines are absolutely visible to the naked eye, will impair luster, and ruin a proof coin. The abrasive is very good at polishing silver - which is great when you&#039;re talking about your grandma&#039;s tea kettle, terrible when you&#039;re talking about coins. Old time collections (and many 19th century proofs) are covered in hairlines for exactly this reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
