<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 3449115, member: 33176&quot;]You are correct to be cautious but if the coins are not uncirculated or proof, they probably already have lots of scratches.&nbsp; Your magnifying glass cloth didn&#039;t scratch the coin, but scrubbing around any grit that was on the coin would have.&nbsp; Have little fear of damaging a coin by rinsing it or soaking it in pure solvents (water and acetone being the most common), the damage is in the rubbing.&nbsp; If you do use acetone, be careful of the vapors since they are both irritating and flammable.&nbsp; After rinsing or soaking, lay the coin on a soft cloth and blot it dry.&nbsp; Welcome to CT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
