Great video thanks! I have a Lincoln cent album most likely pvc which did put a sticky substance on most of the coins I will remove all the coins and apply acetone before transferring to a new album My question is can I just dip them in the acetone for 10-20 seconds without using a qtip if they are not badly affected & is a water rinse afterwards a good thing to do? Thank you

What about using hexane?
Comment from : @erichuber1030

America requires that a bitterant is added to acetone I don't know if it would affect silver, but it may be worth buying lab grade 100 acetone for a few bucks more

Good stuff thx Daniel

Just found the same 1900 o dollar metal detecting came out the ground looking like yours but not as worn
Comment from : @davemartin8113

I admit I did not know acidtone would remove glue or tape residue from coins I just find it best if I leave the coin the way it is but that is handy information to know i did however read that a mixture of Hydrogen peroxide and viniger would help clean and bring back some luster but I have never tried or tested this method
Comment from : @cweedcoins1640

Acetone is something I would never have thought of, on my own I've had some interesting results using lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol, but have never experimented with anything beyond nickles
Comment from : @martinallen6174

Has anyone tried just plain old boiling water? Maybe letting them sit in the boiling water for a couple minutes?

Is there a way to lighten up a copper cent??
Comment from : @amyfinnigan8638

Thank u for this video, I have wondered about this I won’t do this unless I can’t fuck it up anymore than it is already
Comment from : @amyfinnigan8638

If you're going to wash your coins use distilled water regular water has calcium and stuff in it which can leave marks
Comment from : @JustMe-vv9yr

Most coins are nasty unless they come from the bank I have had to use acetone to remove gunk that is not part of toning,
Comment from : @Aracnacon1

When it comes to silver the only fractional amount to consider is fractions of a kilo Never fractions of an ounce Thank you as always Mr BGM
Comment from : @wasillastacker

in my personal opinion coins that were cleaned long ago are not as much of an abomination as coins that have been cleaned recently
Comment from : @psilocybemusashi

Comment from : @paulantonucci6933

How to clean aluminum coins
Comment from : @germalefederico779

Are you using just regular plastic q-tips or the ones made out of wood?
Comment from : @MegaRaduB1

What about steam? Wouldn't that loosen up the glue? And any dirt?
Comment from : @stephensmith60

I don't blame you one bit; I wouldn't want to take on the liability of someone's damaged coins Hahaha!
Comment from : @stephensmith60

Acetone will never ruin a coin

Comment from : @scottmitchell1884

Cleaning? I get NOT scrubbing that will leave fine scratches b*BUT*/b putting it one the top rack of the dishwasher to remove 100 years of finger grime is some bad??? Guess you you need it dirty again I can dip it in dirty motor oil
Comment from : @randywhelchel4674

Not a lot of people know this but the hand cleansing gels from Covid days were often 50 to 70 Ethanal Any you have left over is a great cleanser for plastics and metals,
Comment from : @MENSAlady2

Only thing with copper, if you dip it in acetone long enough it will turn it slightly pink so you do have to watch
Comment from : @louieatienza8762

I cleaned my gold coins with aqua regia, now they are gone! Smelly viddy!
Comment from : @DonnyHootieHoot

I bought a set of 680 silver coins (20 Francs Turin), and one of them is stained with what appears to be resin or epoxy May have been glued into a bezel Not that I care, as they are not really collectible items I tried acetone, white spirit, and mineral oil to no avail

It will harm you
Comment from : @gregschoonover8352

@CoinHELPu good video
Comment from : @FreekingAwwsome

It seems to me, the coins that have already been cleaned and are in need of “bath” filth removal, those would be the coins to try to try it on? But try at your own risk!
Comment from : @Gregpas18

What will a "cleaned" rating cost you in value?
Comment from : @nathandavis7666

All my coins are valuables I would not no chance at all

Thanks for the insightbr The comments are quite entertaining I lost count of how many times you had to state your experience level You are overly patient with the clown show
Comment from : @awakenotwoke4830

Thanks Daniel !
Comment from : @_CYB0RG_

Yeah that looks like a lot of pvc or something on that Lincoln cent
Comment from : @_CYB0RG_

It looks a lot better than it did before
Comment from : @_CYB0RG_

Thank you for showing us the method you use on YOUR coins
Comment from : @_CYB0RG_

I think we as women use acetone on our nails to remove nail polish, I just had not thought about trying it on my coins but I do have a couple I will try it on now
Comment from : @wyndiefeatherstone948

Don't clean coins ever
Comment from : @jimwhite7076

That’s why I never clean a coin, only a little water to see the date, that’s all
Comment from : @michaelhuffman446

Long ago I worked for Chris Craft building fiberglass boats We'd wash our hands in Acetone to get the resin off Never seemed to hurt us But I was pretty stupid In my youth

How can you tell if a coin has been dipped?
Comment from : @rk702

Good info❤
Comment from : @subramaniamkmathvan3661

For whatever reason it seemed to add visual depth to the copper penny I can see why, on a cleaned coin, it is cleaning old abrasion's which have dulled over time The acetone cleans up those abrasions and makes them pop, but there is no other way to get old contaminates off Judgement call Thanks
Comment from : @MJDavis143

Dirt in the details, such as lettering, is best left in place
Comment from : @sftommy01

My lawyer is requesting your name and address so that you may be served with papers After viewing just the thumbnail of this video I acted at your advice and encouragement and attempted to clean my priceless collection of ancient Roman proof sets After eating through the plastic PCGS slabs, the acetone proceeded to destroy the coins themselves beyond salvation This content is reckless and I look forward to seeing you in court 😉brbrEdit 2 days later: This was a failed attempt at humor! 😬

Comment from : @lennymontero9047

I use a rock tumbler to clean the coins I find metal detecting before I cash them in at the bank youtube/kffA1aZNsC4
Comment from : @416TreasureHunters

Have you ever used different types of solvents like dichloromethane (DCM), toluen, benzene, ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, hexane etc It would be interesting to hear about the results and also which solvents definitely damages the coin and should absolutely not be used
Comment from : @DeMedellin-G5

This ruined my coins I thought this was reccomended professional advice!!brbrI'm sueing 😡😡😡
Comment from : @noteworthy227

After some less than wonderful outcomes here and there, I don't "clean" coins at all anymore There are just too many potential problems with the final results And just because I tell someone the coin has been cleaned, doesn't mean the next guy will
Comment from : @tomgore9696

I really don't understand how a pure silver coin, which is 9999 silver, which has been handled by thousands of hands, and what not, can not be cleaned
Comment from : @johningram6262

Thanks for sharing your guinea pigs! I know acetone causes toning to bronze and copper I would be er use acetone on cents
Comment from : @bjanks00

PCGS sometimes cleans and restores some coins Is this how they do it? If they can do it why can't we?
Comment from : @Daniel_Antonio_Arellano782

Brasso? Can I use thst on coins without damage?
Comment from : @anitaclancy9662

Hi how much is your coins which one you cleaning now if you want to sell it
Comment from : @amirdj5923

If it's a glue-based adhesive use Naptha It's similar to acetone in that it's volatile and evaporates easily, but it works faster than acetone on glues, tapes or anything that's sticky And I recommend using solvent resistant gloves whenever you use acetone, naptha or heptane to remove sticky substances

If I have a error coin should I clean it with anything
Comment from : @royburns6490

I use it on coins that I don't care about I wouldn't use a Q tip
Comment from : @dkpqzm

Personally, I don’t like dirty coins, and I also use acetone to to clean a dirty coin if acetone is good for cleaning a Rolex it is it good enough for a coin if a coin has been around since the 1800s, you know that it has been cleaned at one point and if it’s in immaculate condition, that coin has been a safe Queen in some bankers personal collection and not circulated as long as you can read the date of the coin and hasn’t been that worn to me, they’re worth collecting I can live with micro scratches but I don’t like gouging on a coin
Comment from : @reneebarguen5850

Anyone know if there has ever been a 1964 d Jefferson stamped on a solid copper planchet?
Comment from : @benjaminwillis9259

How does acetone respond to artificial toning?
