<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 3474027, member: 18320&quot;]I ask the question out of an abundance of caution.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cleaning, as understood by most coin-savvy folks, results in an alteration in the appearance of a coin surface by physically changing that surface in a way that can be seen. That statement may or may not be true...but it fits what I know &amp; believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>MicroFiber cloths are a mystery to me. Their ability to remove smudges and other superficial blemishes on glass, polished stainless steel, glazed ceramic and other common surfaces previously successfully approachable only with commercial &quot;surface cleaners&quot; or hot soapy water, seems nearly magical.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand that Silver, Copper, Bronze &amp; CuNi are softer than the surfaces listed above, and therefore potentially more vulnerable to <u>anything</u> hard enough to cause visible damage (scratches, even <i>very</i> <i>fine </i>scratches).</p><p><br /></p><p>Has anyone used MicroFiber fabric on coins to successfully remove fingerprints and other similarly superficial blemishes...without damaging their surfaces? This question has to do with business-struck only; I have no proofs, nor anything else with mirror surfaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>This post is way too long for the simplicity of the query; my apology for being a bit too loquacious.&nbsp; Warren[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
