<p>[QUOTE="EvilKidsMeal, post: 1104182, member: 28937"]Okay I'm sure this has been discussed over and over, but I could'nt find anything specific. I have about 700 circulated Wheat Cents that I am currently putting into 1 1/2x1 1/2's to fill a binder. Now these are not amazing coins as my mom collected them when she was a teenager. They are all very circulated. My question is I have been wiping them with a very fine microfiber cloth before putting them into the cardboard to get any fingerprints, oils, etc. off of them so it doesn't get encased with the coin. Is this wrong? So far I have wiped every coin I have put into a 2x2, all types I have, not just the cents. All of my coins are from circulation, so I don't really have anything special. Alot of these coins had a light haze on them that came off when I wiped them. Now I do not scrub the coins by any means, I wipe them with the very fine cloth. I am just wondering if I am okay doing this for the most part.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
