<p>[QUOTE="dannic113, post: 1345934, member: 35203"]CPM9ball is correct ziplock storage bags and ziplock food containers (the hard sides with lids aka us poor people's tupperware..lol) some are #5 polypropylene (very safe for coin storage) most are food grade and made of plastic #1 which is pete and won't harm coins. Now the bags if they are ever melted via chemicals or intense heat from say a fire it will adhere to the coins like PVC. </p><p>I use only cotton gloves simply because my hands sweat too much in latex gloves, rubber gloves and the like. Even with using cotton gloves wash your hands and with softsoap. This also applies with touching the edges only question. Don't use soaps with lots of fragrances or soaps with glycoalcohol or what ever is in antibacterial soaps. Just to play it safe. </p><p>Cleaning Uncirculated coins I would leave that to expert restoration/preservation people. Circulated that are too dirty for you use distilled water and very soft brushes only if required dab dry NEVER RUB with a chamios (pronounced shammy) cloth or similar soft material.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
