Plain stupid
Comment from : Trubble & Siriah Renn

I don't care what this guy says or does, DO NOT ever clean your old coins There's nothing you can do so the cleaning process doesn't show up under a microscope NGC and PCGS will tell you the same thing and put that on certificate when they grade it

Some Golden Rules of coin collecting Number One, NEVER clean them Number Two, NEVER (I did this when I was young, with no idea) keep them in plastic Number Three, DON'T 'slab' coins, it's a con, and they use FANTASY 'grading'! Number Four, keep them in special trays eg Lindner - it doesn't effect their surface in any way Just some of the great ideas I've picked up over my 40+ years of collecting

Is ONE CENT 1982 USA valueble?
Comment from : Benzi

I worked as a Bench Jeweler for almost 40 years How about using a steam cleaner using distilled water only or how about a ultrasonic cleaner using warm distilled water with only a couple of drops of Dawn dish soap mixed in I would just like to clean the dark finger grime out of the details Both processes would not change the coloring or remove tarnish Any thoughts or comments on this are welcome 😁☕️
Comment from : JoeKind1958

I'm glad there are some people who will share this information instead of just screaming "DON'T DO IT!"
Comment from : some guy

ONLY DO THIS TO FACE VALUE COINS, NO SILVER COINS, CHECK SIDE FOR NO COPPER, IF NO COPPER, ITS SILVER DO NOT DO THIS TO 2009 COINS EITHER, THEY ARE RARE it’s ok if they are like cents above it’s face value

Comment from : Cynthia

Cleaning ruins the value!!!
Comment from : Mike Moore

THE ONLY CORRECT WAY to CLEAN a COIN is NOT to TOUCH it with ANYTHING!! You are REDUCING the VALUES of EVERY COIN you TOUCH with ANYTHING and CHEMICAL cleaning of ANY KIND REDUCES the value ALSO! So do YOURSELF a FAVOR and get an ULTRASONIC cleaner like those USED for FINE GOLD and SILVER JEWELRY which cleans with SOUND-WAVES, I was a COIN DEALER for 20 years and have NEVER heard ANYONE suggest TOUCHING a COIN with ANYTHING or USING any kind of CHEMICAL or SOLVENT, please have a VERY nice day!

Any one tried this to remove white spots/milk spots with this product?
Comment from : BoxingFan172

DO NOT CLEAN COINS AT ALL IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN IN YOUR HEAD! THIS IS A HORRIBLE VIDEO MAKES PEOPLE DESTROY WHATEVER THEY HAD DUMB POOR ADVICE THIS IS STUPID NO ONE CLEANS COINS IF THEY ARE SMART LESS THEY WANT TO KILL THEIR VALUE NOT EVEN AN EXPERT WILL CLEAN A COIN IF HE IS ANY REAL EXPERT RIDICULOUS SHIT TO SAY SO PATHETIC YOU MADE THIS VIDEO I FIND IT OFFENSIVE
Comment from : Cory Bober

I work with optics and frequently have to clean spots, smears, outgassing haze, stubborn dust, or smudges off of first surface mirrors, including gold and aluminum In my experience, Q-tips are too scratchy for mirror surface metal They WILL scratch, even if fluffed out For that, I use synthetic cleanroom swabs They are much less likely to scratch brbrAnd don’t use paper towels to dry! They’re more abrasive than you may realize Use clean microfiber, like for your glasses Better yet, use a dry blower, like canned air at a distance or those blowers professional photographers use, and blow the liquid to the edges to get absorbed by a microfiber clothbrbrIf I was going to remove a fingerprint, I would first use a clean strip of Scotch tape It pulls off fingerprints beautifully What’s left can be washed off with a quick rinse of methanol (wear gloves) blown off with clean air (not from your lips!) I have methanol in a laboratory squirt bottle, and it’s great! Methanol is my favorite for that cloudy haze that sometimes comes from other materials, especially plastics and paints, outgassing and also for dust spots that don’t want to blow offbrbrStubborn spots may need gentle wiping with poly fiber swabs and different solvents, like acetone or even your own breath fogged onto the coin With soft metals like gold, there is a good chance of scratching from anything solid, but with enough skill, they can be so small they don’t detract Practice on cheap, already damaged proofs before trying to de-scum anything valuable! Use a magnifier, too

No such thing on how to clean a coin correctly Bye history and the numismaniac value of that coin Nicely done on how to send people down the wrong path in to a hobby that I love The people like me who tell people not to clean coins are the bad guys Thank you

Comment from : Jasons Lyric

Comment from : Invisible River™ Ranch

To be sure, when you sell you're coins you're never going to break even, ever I have coins; Liberty, Morgan, etc that I've never cleaned and got squat for them even though I bought when prices were $5/oz spot in early 2000brbrThese were BU and in very good shape and still in the 20 coin plastic container they were shipped in When took them to my local coin store they wouldn't come anywhere near today's spot price and I wasn't happy with the major online dealers either

Stay away from people like this!
Comment from : Coyne Hunter

Classic snake oil salesman Do not "clean" any coin that might have any numismatic value Dirt, grease, tape residue, sometimes paint or ink, might be safely removed with acetone, but if you don't know what you're doing, don't do it I love when he says he cleaned a "proof gold coin" that had "bluish, whitish, opalescence" on it
Comment from : strat959

this is a con only thing you should ever wash a coin with is distilled water if you arent wearing gloves the oils off your skin will leave residue marks which will eventually eat at the coin

The blue green is oxidized metal That's the original surface coming off Yes, toning is metal changing through oxidation If you remove that you remove the minty fresh surface Don't clean coins Just don't do it and sell them to me as not cleaned Ok?

What about the copper corrosion the green
Comment from : Thomas Meadows

My grandpa owned a service station (back when they were actually SERVICE stations—as in when you got gas, they’d come out and pump your gas, check your oil, and wash your windshield) He’d come home and go through the change from his till and take out any silver—and given the guys handling the register were mechanics and had grease and oil on their hands, the coins were often pretty grungy Grandpa would dip them in kerosene and rub them off Worked wonders! 😂

A drop of hot sauce works wanders on a penny
Comment from : Kitty Gilmer

I'd just leave small amount of mineral grease on the coinsbrGrease is not nice, but it is the only that protects the metal, on long periods of time

Comment from : Joe Cascio

Question has anyone tried or thought of using a wet tumbler like they use for cleaning brass for reloading ammo? They have some vertical and some horizontal Maybe do one coin at a time Its just water and a cleaning solution like dawn soap or something similar Would that cause the coin to loose value?
Comment from : David DeBoard

I dont see a diffrent😅👍

He did an experiment on a proof gold coin! What a brave guy!
Comment from : Mark Osterman

The camera angles and the poor overall quality just ruins the video But thanks for letting me know the least abrasive stuff to use is mineral water
Comment from : Golaki

Better way One cup five per cent white vinegar,tablespoon Dawn,one cup hot water Place in Sonic jewelry cleaner,5minutes Do not use on zinc but copper, composite,silver,gold works It restores to the best luster left on the coin
Comment from : Dale Bronniman

Cleaning coins takes the value ask rick from pawn stars 🌟
Comment from : *Freedom of speech * R have U 4gotten

Sounds fishy No offense but reminds me of old school snake oil salesmen I'll buy it
Comment from : Texmexgod4001

This guy is trying to sell a garbage product trying to use as many periodic elements in his speech to glam it up but after using it on these coins, i meancome on, this solution is a product of government so you'll buy both this and a coin cleaning service so they can say coin cleaning services only have products that can clean without damage Lol and the rich get richer I majored in chemistry and this is jus a a VERY dilute version of 100 wood naphtha or wood turps Its used to vlean coins by mixing what scientists call a soft fail chemical
