Tell me how to camel hair brush a copper coin

I have heard it does not hurt the coin, but the only camel hair brushes I can find are squirrel hair. Are they Ok? Should I get my own camel?-------------------------------------------BigE

    After searching the net, it seems that Camel's hair brushes mare all made of squirrel hair. One site gave me this bit of info...

    << <i>Camel's-hair brushes are not made of camel's hair. They were invented by a man named Mr. Camel. >>

    .

    I don't know if that's true or not, but I did find a site that called for lightly brushing copper coins every six months with a Camel's hair brush.

    pertaining to half and large cents

    you lightly brush ONLY circulated brown color copper this will not hurt the coin
