[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7712623, member: 105098"]Yes I'd say "never rub coins" I just don't feel that way about circulation coins that are not in Mint State or even AU that have seen a ton of rubbing already from circulation. Another rub or two isn't going to hurt anything in my opinion. And I know people are going to say "any rubbing does damage".... OK fair enough. Kenny Rogers might of said it best "you got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to run." The only way people figure things out and know what they are doing is through trial and error. I think everyone has a story about cleaning or conserving a coin that went sideways on them. Some of them expensive lessons to learn some practiced forever on common coins of little value to learn. Reality is people are cleaning and conserving coins a lot and damaged coins happen on occasion from it but the more you know about how and what to do the less it happens.[/QUOTE]
