  • I had some dirty old sixpence and florins i've been wanting to shine and just tried this, Awesome results and cost me nothing as i had some soda in the pantry! thanks for the upload Farenheit :)

    Glad it worked for kyou. I have used this a lot on sulfided coins from the soil and beach. GL and HH

  • is the same process can be followed for a steel coi

    I have never used to clean a steel coin. Our only steel coins were the 1943 zinc coated steel pennies.Those that I have found with a metal detector were not worth trying to clean. Thanks for watching. GL

  • How well would this work on copper pennies?

  • @Izman65

    It will clean them but they are tougher than silver. It takes longer and leaves them bright. You also cannot get away from the damage that has already been done. If you want the patina to stay using crushed walnut hulls in a vibratory or rotary tumbler gives a nice finish. You can also use jeweler's shot if you have access to it. Jeweler's shot is oddly shaped steel shot that is used to polish jewelry. I have ujsed both and like the walnut hull media best. GL and HH .

    I hope it works for you. I leave the Baking Soda in the litle plastic container in the video. It's nice because you can rehydrate it and use it over and over. I like it because it will not damage the coins. GL and HH
