The more i get into coin collecting, the more it feels like cleaning is used to gatekeep coins to keep higher quality coins already graded value higher
Comment from : @alexsurles

if the coin is simply dull using a eraser will help shine it up 😊 Thank me when you can

Why not put some baking soda in the first water rinse to neutralize the sulfuric acid?
Comment from : @gossimer3

I think its our right to do with our metals and appreciate you showing me a good way to do it Your opinion on it being right or not right is strictly your opinion At the end of the day i can enjoy a few old coins in my collection which brings happiness, I don't see a problem with that Most of us buy and never sell But that's just my opinion Thank you

Toothpaste is better for cleaning silver without brush and cloth just use your fingers to rub it don’t use your nails to clean it just rub it with your fingers and toothpaste on it it won’t damage your coin

Does in America have fake coins ? Or just china is only making fake USA coins ?
Comment from : @marklestergamayon4082

I used dish soap and salt to clean coins Is that improper? Or deteriorate the value?
Comment from : @vinnyp3455

You can use citric acid to clean copper and silver without doing any damage as well and it smells a lot better than sulfuric acid
Comment from : @glencummisky182

Just as an experienced coin adultery personand always for my own collection 'Bar Keepers Friend' stainless steel cleaner, works great one drop on either side of the coin, rub with ur fingers for a second and rinsemagic Note i have examined under a 15x loop and NADA is made with 600 mesh silica perhaps u can pick it up at 30x do not know for my collection thats perfect no swirls etc etc

I'll be ordering some of that stuff Very informative video, thanks,

I have several dozen Indian head coins that have lots of dirt caked in them I need to clean but I don’t want to change the coloring any I guess I’ll try just water but don’t want to risk hurting them
Comment from : @jamesmix78

Good gun oil will stop that electrolysis on all metals like that copper
Comment from : @jamesmix78

I’d almost bet $ those two 1880’s are counterfeit I bought several over the years and every single one have the exact imperfections making them obvious fakes Look like heavily cleaned real one but they aren’t
Comment from : @jamesmix78

I've got quite a few coins i've had in storage for 50 yearsI've thought about cleaning them with a dip I actually don't see why not? No rubbing, scrubbing or scratching, what could it hurt?
Comment from : @glasman9

Which American coins (from 1900 to 2024) are currently worth $10,00000 or more in today's market ?
Comment from : @ninavongunten122

That large dipped copper coin has those small dark areas because your gloved fingers blocked the chemicals from raching there Better to use two hands and hold at the rim, and move the coin around along the rim to make sure the chemical get over the entire coin 🙂

Best scale to weigh coins
Comment from : @michellemcmillan6149

Finish it off with baking soda in warm to hot water till all traces of micro sized bubbles are gone using either sulphuric or white vinegar for at least 10 minutes or more, even twice
Comment from : @hhudson991

i have the "state quarter set" coins like these can be cleaned to make them shinier and nobody cares !!
Comment from : @markhellman-pn3hn

How would you care for a dug coin that comes out of the ground with caked-on dirt? A step by step process from the dig to display would be helpful
Comment from : @paulmillen2101

If a coin is carefully cleaned, it will be more desirable than a dirty coin regardless of the value or rarity
Comment from : @DARTDOBBER

In the 80's I dipped a bunch of silver coins, NOW they are beautiful premium toned coins Enough said
Comment from : @BruceGordon925

If you are selling (Dealer) "Oh it's cleaned" If your buying (dealer) "Oh a very well stored coin
Comment from : @BruceGordon925

im not going to clean a $500 coin - but the coins i do have, are the new state quarters THESE COINS CAN BE SHINY & CLEANED !!
Comment from : @markhellman-pn3hn

I think the product you are using is pronounced E-ZEE-EST
Comment from : @carolheinz2156

Honestly, I think that solution is just Tidy-bowl cleaner
Comment from : @SeasparrowDD979

It's the vinegar in the ketchup that does the cleaning It removes oxide but leaves a very unnatural matte finish
Comment from : @bkm83442

Good good relevant useful content! You answered so many questions I have as a newbie to this numismatist world I have an 1831 capped head quarter eagle I just acquired yesterday that I'm doing research on before I clean or look into grading and selling This has been the most helpful of the few videos I've watched prior to this one Thank you for covering this subject and the testing experiment too I appreciate it
Comment from : @Astraea369Divine

Tarnish on silver coins is not corrosion It can be removed without the use of acid dips or abrasive wheels such as described by the coin guy I don't know why anyone would resort to that on silver I don't agree that removing tarnish which can easily be done non-destructively should be detrimental to the value of silver coins
Comment from : @Aberdeenroadie

What about 1855 coins set on railroad tracks Uncirculated 1 dbr21/2D and two other 5 gram coins Santa Fe stage coach tracking bar and latch
Comment from : @russellhiller4198

Have cleaned some coins, mistake, maybe, but honestly, they looked awesome
Comment from : @terrywindham6318

The whole cleaned coin paradigm is a scam If a coin looks new who cares if it’s cleaned or not this is an elitist joke on the rest of the collecting community
Comment from : @Icriedtoday

What about MS70?
Comment from : @ut000bs

The coins don't seem to have lost their luster
Comment from : @pugchronicals1374

💯 great take !!!brbrI'm very curious here in October 2024 # brHow all the the dipped coin look today a few years down the road !!!!
Comment from : @bradleyozbun1012

The leftover/uneven cleaning of the Copper Dragon Eye coin was the spot your fingers were holding it You need to change hands a few times during the dipping process to allow it contact time If the liquid can't get to it, it can't fix it
Comment from : @iowacatfarmer

"polishing" removes base material, "cleaning" just removes stuff stuck to the base material yeah you definitely wanna use sulfuric acid in a well ventilated area!
Comment from : @toadamine

E Z EST "easiest" not E-zest lmao
Comment from : @toadamine

Coke works on green copper oxidation without marks But will pull copper weight

He remembers a penny from 44 years ago that still warms his heart The true love that got away
Comment from : @mlo4914

You mentioned toning your coin with an egg That sounds like a super fun experiment Do you have a video on it 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Comment from : @VondaInWonderland

I found a 1956 D is it worth anything !
Comment from : @lbbradley55

The spot is from you holding it
Comment from : @ConradFranco-n1w

Yep ketchup does work especially well with copper
Comment from : @ConradFranco-n1w

Interesting! 👍
Comment from : @richardmetcalf2346

Also beware doing to any rare coins!!! Preferably do not!!!!!
Comment from : @BryanTaliaferro

Also rinse in hot water!!!!
Comment from : @BryanTaliaferro

You can get the coin guy out of the upper north-east; but you can't take the "noth-eesta" accent out of the coin guy!
Comment from : @lpandy21

good review on coin cleaning, led and subscribed
Comment from : @Wcquick

Looks like fresh from the mint😄😄, smells like someone's behind!😮😮
Comment from : @leechjim8023

I thought that smelly stuff was used to intentionally TARNISH copper I used it in art class in high school
Comment from : @leechjim8023

I used jewelry cleaner on an Indian head when I was young and dumb But I do notice it gets copper corrosion quickly in its ridges
Comment from : @the_weinerbutt_incident

Toning is years of dirty gunge,,seems you like dirty gungie coins, well I do not
Comment from : @MrSambollet

It seems crazy to me that a coin that is properly cleaned loses value Especially, a circulated coin
Comment from : @Green_Expedition_Drgn

GREAT EFFORT brPlease make video on British era coins of colonies too brI have lot of British Era Indian coins in excellent condition can you help me in disposing off at a reasonable sum please?
Comment from : @ashutosh1269

Comment from : @nikroozalavinia3174

who cares clean it anyway Can't really trust grading services because they do the same shit too, cleaning coins Some shady crap they do in the back room

We have a cowboy coin expert, he's open carrying a gun on a belt holster
Comment from : @1998gst4611

You say whiz the coin i call it wire wheeling in on a bench grinder
Comment from : @1998gst4611

I love that you have your gun on your hip!!! Open carry!! Especially in your business!!
Comment from : @zamis21

Hey you shouldn't inhale sulfuric acid fumes, it will eat your sinuses a face mask costs very little compared to your health! And safety glasses are job one! You want to enjoy your coins in the future right?
Comment from : @Airroll777

how can you see the coin without seeing the date?I've got a few coins that people have scratched the thing to death can this be fixed? One of the coins is a 1959or 58 Wheaty and if it can be saved I would love to try it!Someone must know a trick ! I also have this coin that was ran over by a car! can it be saved?
Comment from : @Airroll777

It’s kinda like a polished bottle ,it slightly affects the price as it removes a micron of glass off the lettering 😢it rounds off the square looking embossing 😢
Comment from : @craigdutton6072

I remember my neighbor wile I was growing up, taking his silver dollars out of his album and polishing them up a couple times a year
Comment from : @markgotschall2914

Isn't the dipping restoring coin to original luster?
Comment from : @stephanieroberts1394

I actually want to be able to read the coin and know what it is and remove any rust and corrosion
Comment from : @Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654

Saya pikir koin2 yg dikirim k ngc or pcgs mungkin sebelumnya sudah di clean atau di polishHanya opini, anda boleh tidak sependapat
Comment from : @moneykoin

Great product!!
Comment from : @PeterPortev

Does cleaning them devalue them?
Comment from : @kathyputman5160

I use 91 alcohol in a q-tip I gently go over each side of it and clean that off with the dry side of the qtip That's all I do it seems to work well and it doesn't mess with the patina hardly at all I believe in keeping processes as simple as possible
Comment from : @travismckee6374

Is there a treatment that clears the discoloration caused by a PVC holder?
Comment from : @exdus235

Kudos for remembering back to 1980 Can't remember what I had for breakfast Waitdid I eat breakfast
Comment from : @thedaveandjimshow3809

what about dirty coins from like digging out from the ground, what would the best way to get them "clean" as in no dirt I was thinking like a jewelry sonic cleaner
Comment from : @Light256

A friend of mine grated coins and he told me that sometimes they dipped them because it was very hard to tell the grade with all the dirt on them !!! 🇺🇲
Comment from : @zebcherry

I watched a guy decide not to risk variance in the surface of the coin exposed to chemical Proof coin sets Sent them to get graded Don't recall by who Did not get the "cleaned" stigma I'll try to find it and post the link Happy hunting
Comment from : @robertthomason8905

Dipped clipped or double die? Silver or tin the chemist can use those chemicals to verify material Is it real or is it Memorex?
Comment from : @robertthomason8905

"rinse with water" is it chlorinated? High sulfur like Florida? Is that cotton baby diaper washed with bleach? Was it rinsed well? Chlorine residue might react to other chemicals What would Madge use? 👻

Comment from : @tylerkay3

Great information 👍
Comment from : @TheCoinHunt3r

I tried that stuff before, and it works great, but I do feel like it did speed up retoning I bet that could be resolved by dipping it in a base afterwards to neutralize any residual acid
Comment from : @jamescarter545

The green stuff is VERDIGRIS and can easily be removed, domes and churches with a copper roof are deliberately let to turn green as its the colour they want not the shiny copper You guys seem to know nothing much about looking after copper coins dear oh dear
