<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EvilKidsMeal, post: 1104374, member: 28937&quot;]I figured I was fine. My most expensive coin so far is only worth about $8 Redbook value and it is already in F condition so any wiping with a fine cloth I figured wouldn&#039;t hurt it anymore than what it&#039;s already been through. Most of my wheats are very ciculated, not necessarily in detail, but they&#039;ve been around so long that many have a waxy feel to them so I don&#039;t even think I&#039;m wiping bare metal to be honest. I do understand not to wipe an expensive or exceptionally good condition coin. I&#039;m pretty confident that I know when and when not to chance wiping a coin, and so far I have not hit a questionable coin yet. I only do this so that any oil, gunk, etc., does not get trapped in the 2x2 with the coin and possibly damage it over time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I ever get a more valuable coin I will opt for the acetone approach before I put it in storage. As it sits now though I wipe instead because I have way too many common circulated coins for my personal collection that are simply just not worth my time dipping them all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
