You did great, only thing I would change is don’t pat them just lay them on the microfiber, it will pull the water from the surface because it’s so absorbent… patting can cause micro scratching
Thanks for sharing. I have some UNC American Eagles with toning (First two are 2016 which I will experiment) and then the 1986 coin that have some toning from it touching some acidic paper. The guys at my club said I should dip it. My cousin loaned me the same solution you used so I can do the same.
I was impressed most by the results on the Philharmonic coin. It didn’t completely remove the milk spots so, I’d have to be cautious if using E-Z-EST on milk spots. That was good to know beforehand. I appreciate your video. Thanks.
Hard to say. Potentially not well. I probably wouldn’t do this to a coin that I though was worth sending to be graded. I think the risk would be getting a improperly cleaned designation.
The hard truth is that some of the highest grade coins in NCG/PGCS pops have been carefully cleaned with MS70 or e-Z-est. If done properly theres no way they could give you a details for it
@@CoinMetallurgist PCGS even offers a coin "restoration" service themselves that's basically professionals using similar chemicals and techniques. Good video, only suggestion is that it's probably a good idea to wash them off a bit longer even.
What I would have done differently was put the dipping chemical next to the wash basin and the drying towel to our right of the basin or to our left of the chemical. As you removed the coins from the dip you could "DRIP" some chemical directly onto the drying towel as you passed over it.
Instead of dipping your coins directly into the jar of e-Z-est Coin Cleaner, a better method is to pour out into a separate container the amount that you need for dipping. Then dip your coins in that separate container. By this method, you can preserve the potency of your original jar of e-Z-est Coin Cleaner, because it remains uncontaminated. However if you dip coins directly into the jar of e-Z-est Coin Cleaner, then it starts losing its potency as the dissolved tarnish from coins contaminate the original jar. Also when you have finished dipping your coins, do not pour the contaminated solution back into the original jar of e-Z-est Coin Cleaner.
Baking soda and tinfoil helps with milk spots,,, the best method to remove milk spots is???? A white rubber /eraser,,, the ones you find in a pencil case,,, now you may damage your coin, but rubbing the eraser over milk spots works well
Nice video! I was thinking about buying this product but wanted to see more about it first. Very helpful! Just curious, did the spots return? If so, how long did it take for them to reappear?
You mentioned maybe using an air compressor to dry off your coins. You might consider using a small air can that’s used to help remove dust from computer keyboards. It’s worth a try since you’re just experimenting.

Wow! Very impressive. Thanks for sharing!
Where did you get the tweezers?
Great demonstration
How do you think PGCS and ACG would respond to the result?

@@Rob_Fordd Thank you James!
Very interesting. I enjoy your videos.

Does it remove white spots? Those tend to collect on Canadian silver.
One correction here, because you were talking while dipping you were dipping at least a few times 9 seconds. That may have been advantageous actually.
Ok, thanks.

It has been a few years. I think I found a couple of the coins from the video and they still look good. It seems the spots did not return.
Are all of those silver coins?
yes
thank you
No thank you
I just want to know how to take off milk spots from my buffalo rounds. Its driving me CRAZY!

so, right from the start you're not gonna' follow the instructions?.... bravo!
Nobody cares Roy
He would get better results if he used Dawn dishwashing soap to remove grease from circulated coins before dipping them.
