Multiple Methods to Clean Dirty Coins

[Arooo27]

Thaanxx. I have learnt a good way of cleaning coins. Coke!

[geo1671]

Be very careful in using toothpaste--has fine sand. here is a secret in keeping new silver coins shining and bright--wrap the coin in aluminum foil.Try that with copper should work :^/

[paulsmith264]

great video. yours is pretty much the only one that isnt vague with poor picture quality. its funny how people freak out over cleaning worthless coins. i mean its a PENNY!!! god forbid he put a penny in salt and vinegar!! if its a coin of value dont clean it, if its a penny why not clean it!

[EaglEye219]

hmmm.... the salt and 8% vinegar didn't work for me at all, it took away any luster the penny even had remaining and turned the whole penny pink. :\

[talshiarr]

The common thread in all these lemon juice, coke, ketchup, whatever top secret cleaning methods is the product being used is acidic. Toothpaste is mildly abrasive, rubbing the tarnish off.

[allinpokerhand001]

I tried the table salt and vinegar, and kept it over night and it gave the coins a rainbow look. I was MAD!!! Good video by the way.

[ThePeterMan123]

thanx, worked great, but i forgot to dry off my nickels after bathing them in the viniger mixed with salt, so it kind of eroded, but then i wiped them down with toothpaste, and the marks were practilly gone, again thanx

[Sk8rchick4God]

awesome video, I now know what i'm going to do with the dirty coins I just found. thanks a ton!! (:

[MAmoviesRS]

will this work with mountain dew?

[colingtr1]

Can u put 20 pennies at once

[Killinemdead1]

i had a bunch of silver half dollars super glues to a plaque and i don't know how to get the glue off i tried steel wool on one and it scratched it really bad

[redradiodog]

@Killinemdead1 Use acetone.It will desolve superglue.

[howtoguro]

@Killinemdead1 they're worthless anyways you used steel wool that makes them P or poor less then 1-70 Sheldon scale As a rule of thumb never clean coins with anything other then MAYBE, solution but silver coins need to be kept out of the air anyways so you should know they're delicate.

[ParaglidingManiac]

My copper coin is very dark. After I leave it in vinegar+salt - it becomes clean, but after about 15 minutes - it's dark again. Any tips?

[Veikra]

is a 1941 united state 1 cent penny worth anything?

[theshadydog7700]

can i use faxe kondi

[Atisnemm1]

What are you doing into the vinegar? i can't hear it :S

[mrmikemanify]

cool video

[vorkev1]

yes never clean coins thare is no posable way to clean a coin with out scraching it and that decreases the value. also the way silver and gold are is that any cemacal that gets on it will also change the color.

[haloneopets]

will it clean silver coins

[haloneopets]

coke like any soda or coke like coca cola

[nickmollee]

How come you are using "schoonmaakazijn" from my local supermarket, Albert Heijn? You don't sound Dutch at all...

[DrPeppah44]

I think I saw a reed in the video around the first minute or so...what instrument did it belong to? Just a question.

[TheHelpineed]

i had russian coins what are 200years old and they are now like new thx!

[hottiefix07]

@TheHelpineed hahaa...you cleaned the coins ?!?! ,,geezus...now they aren't worth anything ..

[carrotass]

DUMB ASSES GO DO SOMETHING, BESIDES DESTROYING COINS, DONT CLAEN THEM DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EA1088]

Thanks so much for this video. My fiance has some basic coins that he just started to collect, and while he as work, I've decided to tidy them up for him :)

[gv93927]

which way do you think is best to make coins shiny

[gv93927]

where can u get 8% pure vinegar

[DollarTrading]

hey i was wondering is it true that i have to apparently "rinse it" through alcohol after i put the coins in the vinegar + salt? to "wear off" the effects of the vinegar or something?

[RolePlayingRocks]

Will that work on all coins like real old diffrent world wide coins ? 

[dimb9]

@RolePlayingRocks this will work on any coin as these products are abrasive but dont do it! it decreases the value only use coins that are in current circulation so they are only worth face value

[dumont156]

will this work on foreign coins?

[mhock]

wow thats awsome!

[AFMier]

What kind of coke did you use diet or regular?

[qjtuber123]

why are you people cleaning pennies? Is there a market for clean pennies?

[pennysarecute2]

Fine, if you want to clean coins i will show you the safest way I know First get heinz kethup and gently dab it on the coin, wait 2-3 mins depending on condition, gently rub of ketchup off coin, rinse coin with water and pat dry with towel then hold coin on edges and apply Mothers Polish on to the coin with a soft cloth rub off in circles gently.

[Ablahou]

It works with nickels too right

[companioncubelove]

does it work for bottle caps?

[selenagomez9119]

wont the coke make the coin sticky, just wondering?

[phjabbawockidz]

@selenagomez9119 NO ITS NOT. BUT IT WILL MAKE UR COIN SMOOTH! IVE TRY THIS ALREADY :)

[jackdb1998]

balsamic vinegar and salt is just as good as the 8% vinegar 1

[okpapereat]

i dont want to risky my colectable world war 2 german coin, but its crusted with white stuff

[selenagomez9119]

@okpapereat i recomend trying on some crappy coin first

[john4magic]

can i use pepsi ?

[MauriceFlower]

AND these are envirnmental friendly methods to clean coins/metal! And they are cheap methods! And it's not dangerous to you skin. Very good!

[BonerPirate]

All you need is COKE and some HOOKERS.

[AMEchief172]

Does it work for presidential coins?

[mark1wtf]

i will get 101 percent of viniger!!!!!!! XD

[mark1wtf]

O_O way cool

[graffiti4LIF3]

the easiest way to clean any silver is mix salt baking soda and water put the coin or silver on a peice of tin foil larger then the actual silver your cleaning put it in the water salt baking soda solution and it should clean it super quick there was a vid on youtube showing how to do this but cant remember what its called but ya use this method but usually only use it on jewellery but not any coins or other stuff cause cleaning lowers value on alot of stuff

[littlebear852006]

you guys are nuts!!

NEVER EVER EVER CEAN COINS!!!!!!!

[CHPjess]

why?

[littlebear852006]

A cIeaned coin is worthIess. If you want vaIueabIe coins cIeaned then They wiII nIy be worth face vaIue.

[ziggylogan]

I had pennys from 1937-1960 that I was told to use lemon juice and salt just mix them together and swish the pennys around in them it worked amazing they look mint except for one problem they aare a dull shade of copper and do not have that glossy finnish whats wrong and how much is the value decreased cuz if there worth nothing ill trade them they look amazing for being clean put there not that nice copper color that new pennys are

[pops51201]

HOLY CRAP,I CAN USE COKE TO CLEAN COINS

[DarkChroniam]

YAY now I can clean my .999 silver coin

[0muffins0]

Adding salt really accelerates the process! I wouldn't use it on anything with worth though.

[XdefinitlyXmaybeX]

I would love to clean my pennies. I do not plan on selling my pennies and was just looking for a way to make them shine again for my own personal collection. This is great! Thanks!!!!

[inkey2]

why the hell would anyone want to "clean a coin" it destroys any collectors value. Besides....all you need to do is buy some "TARNEX" at a hardware store or Wallmart. Dip it in Tarnex and it takes literally 2 seconds to clean. I guess someone has a hell of alot of time on their hands

[0muffins0]

A lot of people who buy silver coins have no interest in 'collectors premium' for coins. All they are interested in is the melt value of the silver. They won't pay much above spot price value for coins anyway since they just want metal.

[MUDSWAT]

Tarnex is the worst thing for coins, damage wise. It strips layers of metal off your coin. It also smells like death after.

[noobz331]

use ketchup takes only 5-10 mins

[mountainviewcoins]

Do not clean coins. If you have coins of any numismatic value, cleaning them WILL decrease value. Do not clean coins

[americanGTA]

@mountainviewcoins even if the coin is worth face value?

[lilsm1th]

@mountainviewcoins huh.? what??

[boratfan1234]

will it damage gold coins

[mountainviewcoins]

Yes, cleaning coins will damage them and decrease any numismatic value

[guitarmaster15860]

does it work on silver coins

[boratfan1234]

i think it does but be careful your coin may not be dirty it could just be exposerure to air (happens to sliver only)

[midnalover99]

thanks, man, I've been looking for a way on how to clean coins without having to do anything complicated :D

btw VERY shiny coins.

[coolgregproductions]

wat about pepsi thats caffiene free?

[kennethmanard]

Does diet coke work?

[killerpigeons117]

will it work on quarters? also will it take gum out of it?

[PwnerKev]

Yeah, it works on pretty much all coins.

For the gum, try getting of as much as you can, then try the coke method. you might wanna leave it in for about a day.

[kingsalar1]

@PwnerKev can i put many coins in a cup for coke method

[Soccerballin6]

will this clean them from finger oils

[PwnerKev]

Yes it does, if it is just minor dirt ( or oil) you want to get off, I'd suggest the coke method. Just let it sit in the coke overnight and just rince and wipe it clean.

[wgpoh]

you can also use Brasso, it works really well with cleaning pennies. Car wax and ketchup/hot sauce work also.

[PwnerKev]

I've tried ketchup, didn't do it for me

[grandtheftauto4123]

with the tooth past you can use a tooth brush to remove the white look!
