Right. those fine scratches will degrade a coin. I always carry a medicine bottle or a plastic 50 cent coin tube with a screw top. I put a piece paper towel and some cotton in it. If I find a silver coin I wet the paper towel and wrap the coin in that and put it in the bottom of the tube. The same with a pewter button.Mark S. said:Those are nice finds. Especially the bust dime.
Just one suggestion. DO NOT RUB THEM. I cringed when you did that. You did the right thing by using water but you still rubbed them. You can see the fine scratches from that action in the photos.
