<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 5386895, member: 27832&quot;]Yes, you would hurt the value -- that&#039;s not a super-valuable coin, but it&#039;s a steelie with honest wear, and there&#039;s no reason to turn it into a details coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d recommend trying the &quot;baking soda rub&quot; on some modern cents from circulation first, so you can see what effect it has. Rotate the coin under a light both before and after you&#039;ve rubbed it. After the rub, you&#039;ll be able to see how it picks up highlights from the light in one direction. That&#039;s because of the tiny hairlines rubbing leaves on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
