<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2095893, member: 26302&quot;]I agree with Chris that the smoke residue will settle on coins. I bought a large group once, and noticed this on the coins. Thankfully most of it only settled on the packaging of the better coins, but my hands smelled like an ashtray after I reholdered them all. The loose coins I took a damp washcloth to, and old one thankfully, since it turned brown from the residue I wiped off. If you are going to smoke around coins, make sure you put them in protective containers, flips, etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I doubt those new vapors will have ill effects. There is no smoke residue from them. Its not nicotine deposits really, its smoke.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Btw, as an aside, a few of those coins I cleaned smoke off of had pretty toning. After I wiped them it was gone. A thin layer of smoke deposits on a BU silver coin can appear to be attractive toning. Just another thing to worry about for those who wish to pay a hefty premium for &quot;pretty&quot; toned coins. Its actually an old trick some dealers used to use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
