<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2824972, member: 44210&quot;]Was going to post this question in the slab thread since it mentioned touching ancients with bare hands, but I figured this could be a discussion in its own right. I remember way back someone posting on another forum about how touching ancient bronze with bare hands can facilitate their breaking down. I went searching for the post and I happened to find it. Anyone with chemistry knowledge know if this has truth behind it?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I always felt that this maybe was just an out-of-proportion exaggeration, but I don&#039;t know for certain since I am not very knowledgeable about chemistry in general.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope I don&#039;t come of as fear-mongering or anything. For the record I still have bronze coins from when I started years ago that I&#039;ve handled and they have yet to break down (others I don&#039;t have anymore I&#039;ve since sold, so those did not break down either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
