I'm collecting coins since my childhood days and there are many methods to clean coins gentle and correctly. Ancient bronze coins can be cleaned with Ballistol oil and bicarbonate of soda to remove dirt from the surface. Circulated silver coins I often clean with the Aluminum-Water-Salt-Reaction method to remove brown spots from the coins and for proof coins with milk spots on em I use a small strong vapor cleaner from the dental laboratory to remove spots from the coins surface. This method is very gentle to the coins and I don't get scratches in the coins surface. To prevent the coin from water spots I emmediately blow them dry with compressed air. Usually these milk spots don't show off again. That's the way I clean coins.
@@Travistyj Sure. I use a steam cleaner to remove milk spots from my coins. The hot steam does not damage the coin surface. Then blow dry with compressed air. I bought the steam cleaner used on ebay for a few bucks. Comes from a dental laboratory. This method works fine to me. I hope that helps.
I'm really no coin collector. I've only found 18 copper wheat back pennies and 3 steel wheats found in my pocket change. So I put them in CLR to see if they would look any better. THEN I thought, "maybe coin collectors don't like that". Bless Bess, I was right, but found this out after the fact they have been in the CLR. I rubbed 3 with some cleaner and my fingers. Those 3 look really good. I don't know what to do with the others. I guess wheat pennies are not much to worry about cleaning or not cleaning.
I tried cleaning some inexpensive coins using methods by other people on UA-cam. And guess what they were all pitted they all got pitted they didn't get clean at all well they got partially cleaned but they got eaten up by the acids. I'm glad I did it that way to check it out.
Every time someone mentions cleaning coins, the collectors all jump in with a panicked "never clean a coin!" What a crock. Most coins are not collectible coins, and what most of us want to know is the *most efficient* way to cleaning a load of common coins, not a few collectibles, without damaging them. Right now I'm in possession of about 100 pounds of quarters that I've saved over the years. I want to clean them so that I can start distributing them to the kids. All I want to know is the fastest, easiest way of cleaning them and shining them up for when I hand them over. *Value* is not an issue here... nor is it in almost every case when this question comes up.
It's just that I don't CARE about numismatics. All I wanted to do, as many want to do, is thoroughly clean a mass of common coins. My original complaint was, and still is, that on these threads the collectors jump all over people about cleaning coins. I understand that about collectables. What I and others are talking about is a mass of common circulated quarters and the like with no value to collectors... and all I wanted is some input on the easiest way of doing it. In fact, what I ended up doing was putting about $100 worth at a time in a drywall bucket half-full of water with some dishwashing liquid, a bunch of Comet abrasive cleaner and several cut up sponges. I then shook and swirled it for about five minutes. After draining it and drying the coins, they looked great. Problem solved. Discussion ended.
I found a 1943 D penny this morning in my change. It's so dirty it looked like a regular penny except for the edges and some tiny areas where the steel is showing through. How should I clean it?
The reason it looks so dirty is because it is made of steel. in 1943, the demand for copper for world war 2 was so high, the government made all pennies that year out of steel...I wouldn't recommend cleaning it.
What if the coin is so dirty (oxidized?) that I can’t read anything? I can just barely tell that it’s an American penny, because yes IT IS that bad, by the Lincoln memorial on one side is kind of showing. But the other side is completely illegible. I cannot read what year it’s from but judging by the color, it looks old. However, I am far from a coin collector so I can’t know that for sure.
Before I started collecting and I'm new to this I had a jug full of pennies grandbaby poured milk into jug we was in middle of moving time corroded them how can I know if I have a good penny or where I should clean them or not
Question: I have a ton of overly dirty dirty coins I find here and there. How would I know they are of value before cleaning them if they are not legible....?
hello need your help i put cleaning solutions ( pro saniter) in a contener to wash all my coin copper & silver but i forget to wash .next day went going to wash all my silver coin change colour. please help what to do .
I found a coin that may be collectable but I don't know because i can't read much at all because of all the corrosion. The only thing I can read at the bottom I think it's the bottom is liberty. I can I determine what it is without cleaning it?
At $0.25 each, I wouldn't think expensive is relative....Unless you collect US Mint Silver Proof Sets with the five - 90% silver State Quarters or such.
Vinegar/salt will kill the mint luster in two seconds!!! Combined they create a pretty decent acid... However It can be a worthy trade on a very oxidized penny where the date is barely readable! However check your red book on the value and make the call. Oh and don't even touch proof coins!!!!! Those suckers will fade and scratch if you so much as breath on them!!! I've even scratched them with quality micro fibre towels!
Does this have to be one coin at a time? most coin sorters (in most bank lobbies) or coinstar want clean coins entered and I don't want to clean one at a time
A lot of times cleaning a coin will cause accelerated oxidation and quickly deteriorate the mint luster. Mint Luster is a critical aspect to the grade/cost of a coin! I've seen a few gorgeous 1889-CC destroyed by cleaning! Something that could of been worth 30K is now in a genuine slab with NO grade and maybe worth 5K - but hey it's all shiney I guess?
I have silver coins, the ones I opened from the original casing have gone... don't know what the worst it's like it's mixed with moisture in the air? Part of the silver is not as shiny as the rest! Is that coin done for or is there a way to get it shiny again?
To clean a coin without hurting the coin use regular sensodyne toothpaste and a very soft toothbrush. Place coin in hot water for 1 min take the coin out, lay it on a soft cloth, and bush in all different direction lightly! You can use a Q-tip for the edges!!! I just cleaned 14 1964 Kennedy halves and they look great!
>1990 penny >Literally worthless >Wants to clean it >Dude wants you to mail it to him >Will cost you more than the coins face value Are you guys retarded?
I would also look into special car soaps! Many house hold soaps contain abrasives, which will leave micro scratch. High end car soaps are completely free of these abrasives and get the job done. Make sure you get all the soap off, and try to use distilled or reverse osmosis water to avoid leaving any mineral deposits. I also like to use a microfiber towel to pat the coin dry...
You can do whatever you like. Personally I would start with neutral pH like distilled water soak for 5 minutes and blow dry and see where you are at. If the distilled water doesn't work, then try pure acetone, also neutral pH ( no fragrances or additives) and give it a less than 1 minute dip then back to distilled water to rinse then blow dry. Anything harsher than that might damage the item. Any acid or base might damage the item. Leaving the item to long even in distilled water or acetone can damage the item. Baby steps if you are conserving and use the least harsh methods first and see where that gets you.
Chloe Gallardo You know he isn’t talking about not cleaning a coin like that. Most of us that collect coins would have never cleaned that Walking Liberty he used as an example, (an $8 coin). If one tries to grade a coin they clean they will get back from the graders, “xxxx Details Improperly Cleaned.” A coin I actually look for on Ebay...
I have the genuine undated 20p on both sides. I want to keep it in good condition. I was given it in change and after a week it was all over the news that the royal mint made a big mistake and for got to date them. Can you suggest what I should do to keep it in its perfect condition .
Hi d, I collect coins too, the best way to find a MS 70 coin is to buy rolls of coins from a bank, pennies, nickels, dimes at your age would be a great way to start. Look for the prettiest shiny ones that aren't scratched up or dented, dinged, and chances are sooner or later you might find one, although I will say it's not going to be easy, a magnifying glass will soon be your best buddy...lol and remember always have fun after all that's what this hobby is all about!!
@americansovereign Thanks. I paid a bit more per ounce then regular silver because they have a design (I.E. collector's value). What type of gloves should I get if I wish to touch them and where can I get these gloves? Thanks!
I put about 30-40 in an old sock, drive 200 miles find a local store and swing the sock at the teller and once unconscious I am able to exchange the coins for all the notes in the till (I have to take fuel and running costs in to account) and hopefully they don't need cleaning unless of course they are of a large denomination. et voila!
What do they do when, let's say a penny, that has a gunk spot on it? Almost looks like a piece of gum residue. You see these a lot of time in pocket change. Which is worse, leaving it or just a gentle water/soap quick rub with your finger? Of course if it was a real valuable coin, wouldn't that piece of hunk bring down the value anyway? Just asking. I have zero plans to clean a coin.
if I got a very clean Lincoln penny and it gots a black tar underneath the Lincoln nose, I'm gonna clean it. I've had a few very prestine coins, dunno the value, but it only had minor tar spots. ty for posting the video
The coin will be a different color under the tar after cleaning. You should still do it because over time the tar will eat a hole through the coin but be prepares for pink colored spots where the tar used to be.
nonsense clean coin is taboo...get a life man....if the coin is full of corrossion and you could only see a 1mm black layer and see nothing, how can anyone know what coin is tht and how to identify the value of the coin... silly !!
I'm a little bit into numismatics and I really think the "no cleaning" rule is bullshit, specially when the coin in question has noticeable rust spots that may end up ruining the whole coin, even when inside a binder. It really makes no sense to me, even as a collector with some 100 years old coins 🤷♀️
I will agree to an extent. Look if your coin is being destroyed by environmental contaminants you should probably clean it to stop it from getting completely destroyed. In that case though it is a damaged, problem coin before you clean it and it will be a damaged, problem coin after cleaning or "conserving". You aren't really losing any value by cleaning, you are stopping it from losing even more value from corrosion eating it up. When they say "don't clean" they generally mean don't take a coin that's in decent natural condition and polish it up to make it shiny or work it with tools to remove scratches. No matter how shiny you make it its still going to be a worn coin that's seen circulation and it's going to be obvious you cleaned or polished it up to try to hide the wear and tear on the coin which won't work. Nothing at all wrong with conserving when it's your only choice to stop the damage occurring. It's the "coin doctors" trying to make more money by polishing up a coin that are doing Un necessary work and killing the value of their coins.
you are correct , the "no cleaning" rule is bullshit, if you clean it without damaging , then why should that devalue it ? the whole grading thing is bullshit controlled by the grading companies
I have Bactrian coins which are worth like over a couple grand. I have about 16 of them. I cleaned one perfectly. Then the next one I ruined. I'm never cleaning coins again
I did this to my 1879/O just to make it shiny....because that coin dont worth a lot of money...but i cant do that on my 1914 D buffalo nickel😂believe it or not the dust that had covered the original mint luster came away and now it looks like an Ms-63...also i saw a mint error...the eagles head is connected with his right wing with a straight line....all this things were impossible to see because it didnt move from an old case for more than 30 years
where do i get the glove? I touched my silver with bear skin which made it look dusty :( I want to rub the dust off with the gloves... I bought these coins for protection against inflation, and they are silver/nice, and are about $38.00 a coin.
The old junk silver coins that I have, none are collector value, just pre 1964 junk pocket change with silver in them, I clean by making a thick slurry of baking soda in warm water and soak the coins in them. Then, after a day or so of soaking, I use a toothbrush to brush away the crud off of them. It makes them look good, doesn't leave anything, doesn't really make them look like polish was used on them but that they are just clean. Hope this is helpful to someone. Respectfully,
This is only for very inexpensive coins, that don't cost much...quite redundant, inexpensive means it doesn't cost much...or are there inexpensive coins that cost a lot :-)
Was that a silver coin he cleaned? Looked like one. I still don't like the way he was rubbing to wipe it off. I've tried this on SILVER coins and it works great. Get a glass baking dish 2. tear a piece of aluminum foil so that it fits in the lower part of the dish. 3. add clean warm water which will be sufficient to cover a few coins, and not a whole bunch of them. 4. BAKING soda.............i usually just pour a little bit into the liquid and a slight stirring to help it dissolve. Lay individual coins on the bottom not touching each other After about 10 minutes turn the coins OVER and allow the liquid to work on the other side of the coin, another 10 minutes or so. Afterwards just remove the coins and rinse each off with cool or warm water NOT HOT The chemical process between the ingredients create some-type of "electro-bla bla" cleaning lol Forgot the correct explanation, but "it works great" especially to remove tarnish from the silver. It just "floats right off" Then lie each on a dry paper towel, let it air-dry and then flip them to do the other side. DO NOT RUB.................only "pat try" I have NO idea about NON-silver coins. It might or might not work. Good luck.

you are correct , the "no cleaning" rule is bullshit, if you clean it without damaging , then why should that devalue it ? the whole grading thing is bullshit controlled by the grading companies
I have Bactrian coins which are worth like over a couple grand. I have about 16 of them. I cleaned one perfectly. Then the next one I ruined. I'm never cleaning coins again
@AFMier Yes it would, you would not want to do this to a coin that is valuable.
funny how you wear one glove even with soapy water lol great video but had to mention that :)

Sir,Tell me how to clean copper coins
guess i'll just continue using knives and such so scrape off all the dirt so i can actually see what coins I've found then
yes of course
where do i get the glove? I touched my silver with bear skin which made it look dusty :( I want to rub the dust off with the gloves... I bought these coins for protection against inflation, and they are silver/nice, and are about $38.00 a coin.
He forgot to mention that this is only for very inexpensive coins with not much value to them
You mean like at 0:52 lol
Thanks for sharing
The old junk silver coins that I have, none are collector value, just pre 1964 junk pocket change with silver in them, I clean by making a thick slurry of baking soda in warm water and soak the coins in them. Then, after a day or so of soaking, I use a toothbrush to brush away the crud off of them. It makes them look good, doesn't leave anything, doesn't really make them look like polish was used on them but that they are just clean. Hope this is helpful to someone. Respectfully,
This is only for very inexpensive coins, that don't cost much...quite redundant, inexpensive means it doesn't cost much...or are there inexpensive coins that cost a lot :-)
Was that a silver coin he cleaned? Looked like one. I still don't like the way he was rubbing to wipe it off. I've tried this on SILVER coins and it works great. Get a glass baking dish 2. tear a piece of aluminum foil so that it fits in the lower part of the dish. 3. add clean warm water which will be sufficient to cover a few coins, and not a whole bunch of them. 4. BAKING soda.............i usually just pour a little bit into the liquid and a slight stirring to help it dissolve. Lay individual coins on the bottom not touching each other After about 10 minutes turn the coins OVER and allow the liquid to work on the other side of the coin, another 10 minutes or so. Afterwards just remove the coins and rinse each off with cool or warm water NOT HOT The chemical process between the ingredients create some-type of "electro-bla bla" cleaning lol Forgot the correct explanation, but "it works great" especially to remove tarnish from the silver. It just "floats right off" Then lie each on a dry paper towel, let it air-dry and then flip them to do the other side. DO NOT RUB.................only "pat try" I have NO idea about NON-silver coins. It might or might not work. Good luck.
Use a sandblaster

www.ebay.com/p/India-british-Rupee-1941/102061731. Can you list it on eBay? Also search Google for coin dealers, how to have you coin valued/appraised, and how to know if you can tryst a coin appraiser. :)
he used wood pulp(paper towel) to wipe that coin off. Microfiber only.
Microfiber scratches also.
Best way is to rinse with distilled water ( it won't spot) and blow dry on cool setting.
