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

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

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 :^/

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. :\

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.

@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.

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.

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
