<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1104712, member: 68&quot;]You can&#039;t see hairlines on a circulated coin.&nbsp; If by some chance you do then just wipe them until they disappear.&nbsp; Rather than wipe I&#039;d suggest thumbing for circulated coppers that have developed a haze. Rub your thumb by your nose, forehead, or wherever you have a little oil and try to work it into the coin.&nbsp; This will remove not only the haze but any old dirt and accumulations.&nbsp; If it won&#039;t all come off soak in in olive oil for a while.&nbsp; Olive oil should be removed with detergent and then the coin wiped with a soft cloth.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Never never use mechanical cleaning for coins with pristine surfaces like true unc and proofs.&nbsp;&nbsp; On very rare occasion something might be lifted off with a tooth pick or black locust thorn but these coins are almost never improved by mechanical processes and are usually damaged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
