<p>[QUOTE="EvilKidsMeal, post: 1104929, member: 28937"]Okay so I guess the best way to say it is: all of my wheats were given to me by my mom that she collected when she was my age so none of them will ever leave this family. that is why I am wiping them, because I don't want any oilss, and what not to damage them anymore then whats already been done. I do not own any proofs, that I know of atleast, so I am not worried about wiping a proof because I wouldn't do it. I just want to preserve these coins a little better, but there are just too many to dip in acetone. These wheats are all going into a binder and all are common unless I find an error here or there. Many of them as I said have a waxy feel to them and me wiping them shines them up a bit. These are more of a sentimental/historical collection than something that needs to be perfect.</p><p> </p><p>A side note: I am not just grabbing any random paper towel or cloth laying around. I have very fine microfiber cloths that I use. Even finer feeling then most lens cloths I have used. I know they can still cause hairlines, but on my coins I think anyone would be extremely hardpressed to tell the difference in how the coin was and what I did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
