<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mac McDonald, post: 7602590, member: 117420&quot;]Well, folks...true confessions here...it can be done:&nbsp; I occasionally use soft, untreated and non-fragrant tp...Charmin to be exact...to freshen up and help revive/enhance a coin&#039;s luster and/or mildly/gently uncover certain surfaces and details hidden by years of circulation and mild exposure. I would never do this for any reason on a proof, nor any coin with heavy build-up/dirt...only on certain circulated business strikes and some MS coins. The material used and the limited way I do it, so as not to appear polished or rubbed, does not leave scratches...at least not that can be detected or detected enough to matter to TPGs.&nbsp; I&#039;ve become good at it...it took practice...and I have many straight-graded/slabbed coins by PCGS and NGC from submissions after this process (often taking no more than 10-15 seconds per coin/side).&nbsp; I&#039;ve never had one returned as &quot;details/cleaned&quot; and I only do it for coins that I believe can be helped and without degrading/damaging the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
