Rubbing alcohol works well too It removes dirt and residue without harming the coin

I realise this has been up a while, but you're the go to for coin detail - may I please ask, and it's with regard to an in rather nice nick 1896 penny, and 'cleaning' : mine has nasty blackish, almost greasy grime all around the 'teeth' indents and around the lettered detail on both sides It's fairly easily dislodged by gentle teasing with a cocktail stick Would you still advise this ionised water/soft plastic bristle brush tactic to dislodge said grime, without actually shining/brightening up the coin itself in any way ?brThank you

Put it in coke cleans good ??

If the coin is not valuable and really in bad shape use a Dremmel with a round soft pad and some cleaning wax and you have a new coin, nothing lost coin restored but now worthless of course it will age again mind

Thanks for a good tip I think this is a thoroughly sensible approach which does nothing to damage the coins As someone relatively new to collecting pre-decimal coins these videos are a great way to educate myself

I use dawn dish soap
Comment from : @sharonperry5213

I have a Dremel for cleaning coins Just kidding
Comment from : @paulp4678

Should really remove any green gunge that can appear on coins that have been stored for a period in PVC holders or verdigris otherwise corrosion damage might surely follow But as for polishing - never! A polished coin is only fit for the dirty mug (paradoxically) ❤

I’ve a lot of very grubby old pennies and been too scared to clean them (been told to use ketchup !) But I think I’ll get myself down to Halfords and give this a go
Comment from : @johncamp8520

I've never cleaned any of my coins before
Comment from : @JimmyLicari

soft water and a cheep paint brush seems to work well I will try that method

Careful, don't use washup liquid or you'll be had up for money laundering !😆🧐
Comment from : @johntyjp

Nice tip Paul on cleaning coins 👍
Comment from : @johnsaunders5787

Very interesting could definitely see the difference👌👍
Comment from : @mrmrssnappy9920

My general rule is if the coin is already damaged or you can't see much details, I have no problem with it
Comment from : @monsterplay3808

I mean nice strokes but come on let’s see the whole Coin cleaned 🧼 Part timer 😃

Good bit of info, and the coins looked much better afterwards The way you handled that brush might get you on as a guest of Painting With Master Temple! 🖌🖼😁
