I realize this was posted long ago. What is the name if the pencil object you used and the cleaning fluid? I'm working on doing this on coins of my parents birth year for their 70's birthday inlayed in wood. I have mostly everything I need to start including the diamond paste set, just need tips
@@NevermoreTerminus you can't clean or polish coins because it ruins the value. If you're cleaning a newer coin like from this year, that's probably fine because it's not worth a whole lot anyways. However, if you're polishing a 1964 Kennedy Silver Dollar that has REALLY nice rainbow toning on it, (0:24) it kills the value because it ruins some of the finer details, especially on an older coin like this. For example, this coin would have been worth around maybe $10-$20. (I don't know if that's actually true, it's just an example) but by polishing and cleaning said coin, it could literally drop down to a $1. It lowers the value, don't do it.
Fake
NOOOOO WHYYYY... that coin has such beautiful toning! Literally any other mint state '64 half, not that one!
