General Collecting
Why do my Uncirculated coins have scratches on them?
Coins graded MS-60 and better will have contact or "bag" marks, which are minor abrasions from contact with other coins during the minting process and during handling and storage in U.S. Mint sealed bags.
What should I use to clean my coins? Do you recommend cleaning them?
Cleaning is not recommended. Cleaning can permanently damage a coin's surface, thereby reducing and possibly totally destroying its numismatic value. An expert can easily spot a cleaned coin, and will usually stay clear of it.
What is the proper way to handle a coin while examining it?
Collectible coins should always be held by their edges between thumb and forefinger. This will protect the surfaces and design elements of the coins from the natural salts, acids and oils in fingers or palms which can be corrosive to coins over time. In fact, many experienced collectors prefer to use soft cotton gloves when handling their coins. Holding your coin over a soft surface, such as a clean, dry towel, is also a good idea. The soft surface is less likely to damage a dropped coin than a hard table or desk top.
