Not sure why your investing the time on 1950s nickels. the only nickels that have silver in them are the wartime nickels frim 1942-1945, They will have a blackened look to them due to the zinc they put in them, They are 35% silver, short of those years, the pre 1965 guidline does not go for nickels. I made the mistake of thinking the buffalos were 25% and learned my lesson the hard way, Just glad I didnt invest much.

@umustwantme ......Nickles have stayed the same 1938/2000...Older than 1950...Is old ...out of circulation in the US ...Mostly..

I have a bunch of coins that were damaged in a house that flooded. Some of these coins are pretty heavily damaged with rust and a green-colored corrosion. If I do the same thing that you did in this video, will the rust and green corrosion come off the coins ?

[MrLambr]

Bon Ami is an abrasive and doesn't it scratch the coin surfaces?

[mtlicq]

That is terrible !!! Don't do that ! It causes extra abrasions and scratches that severely decreases the value and condition of the coins !!!

Check out NerdRage's video on cleaning tarnished silver, he displays a very easy, fast method.

Cleaning coins with baking soda will ruin any collectible value they have!

You should never rub a coins surface with anything but a qtip and ammonia. You can also use MS70 coin cleaner and a qtip. I believe MS70 coin cleaner is ammonia anyway... It will remove all dirt, and won't ruin the coin by scratching the surface. Make sure to thoroughly rinse the coin in distilled water if possible and pat dry, never wipe dry.
