How 'bout I just buy clean ones from you...I'm soooo lazy...

@19GN03 Metal certainly can damage a coin. However, if you do it right, it is very safe. Electrolysis will often remove a patina, so you should only use it if necessary. Wood and plastic is safer, but unfortunately will often take a very long time, or not work at all. A careful job with a pick or knife will save time and often be safe. You should practice on cull coins until you get the hang of it though.
Thanks for the comment!

@Money305Mike I bought the coin for about $5, now it is worth around $15-20
-
@silver8dollar Actually it is usually worth more after cleaning if the cleaning is done correctly.
-
@Whit3Mike Yes, it can. However, with a softer dirt like on this coin it is better to clean it this way. An ultra-sonic cleaner will usually remove the patina.

Use a ultra-sonic cleaner. Works wonders for coins.

It wont be worth much after you clean it.
seems risky to use sharp tools like that

Does this process still work for coins with much more dirt or do you recommend a different process? Where do you buy mineral oil?

@RiseandFire111 Hi, yes it will work with coins that have a lot more dirt. I will try to do a video for that soon.
You can buy mineral oil at a drugstore. Ren Wax isn't terribly expensive and is another option. It is more expensive though.

@fishworldhacker I generally buy them from dealers in European countries. If you don't know what you are doing but want to get started on cleaning coins, make sure you buy from a reputable dealer. It is best to buy coins that you see the exact coin you will get, otherwise you will often end up with a bunch of junk.
You can buy good quality uncleaned coins at affordable prices off of my website. There is a link in the video.
Thanks!
