<p>[QUOTE="dimeguy, post: 916691, member: 19855"]Just finished a modern lincoln set with Grandpa from circulation and roll searching. I was so excited and really wanted this folder to shine! So, I convinced Mom to buy some coin/jewlery cleaner. As any good 9 or 10 year old I promised her I would be very careful...not drinking it, spilling it, using it responsibly, etc. And in all honesty, I was. We bought the cleaner. I took great care of emptying all the pennies from the album and then I dipped the first one. Took it out of the cleaner (bare fingers of course) and dried it off and boy was it gleaming!! Then I remember my hand feeling really funny....evidently the cleaner was either toxic or I was allergic, but either case that hand of mine blew up and looked more like a water balloon in seconds after my first dipped coin. Today I see this as a lesson from the coin god as he states in fury at me, "Thou shalt not clean my coin brethern!" After very quick hospital visit I vowed to never use cleaner on a coin ever again, no matter how crappy a coin looked.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
