I only clean my junk silver
Comment from : B&N Ferguson

Does this include silver jewelry cleaner?
Comment from : M Bry Hol

Why do you hear do not clean coins but dealers constantly clean coins to sell at a higher price as a trouble free coin after being cleaned by themselves, the answer is profit, buy low sell high to offset their costs ,rent , utilities ,employee pay, cost of future purchases, insurance costs, the amount of people today coming in to buy coins due to a poor economy, these were the reasons told to me by a coin dealer, why the the value prices of silver never reach the listed prices, profit margin point of 30 applies other wise the the dealers could not make a profit to buy other coins with or buy from other dealers coins to sell,

I only done this once and I washed a coin in warm to hot water and a drop of dish soap I only used my fingers and rubbed off the dirt nothing abrasive or damaging Like washing dishes Thats it I don't use wash cloths or scrubbing pads again just my fingers
Comment from : 1995jags11

Comment from : Guillermo Ferrer

If you just wash the coin coins by just soaking it to a certain liquid to clean…without brushing it…is it no good too?

THANK YOU DANIELE, GREAT VIDEO TO THE END!!!!!
Comment from : tammie cagle

I feel like I shouldn't even bother cleaning any coin after this videobut I can't restrain myself from putting my coin under a buffing wheel
Comment from : Tsukasa Knoell

I probably wouldn't touch coins as I know messing with them does affect the value I'm hamhanded with that kind of stuff, sure to leave scratches and stuffbrbrHowever the question I'd have is on brass tokens I have some from an old arcade Is cleaning brass tokens as damaging as cleaning nickel/copper currency? I'm not sure if brass has a better surface that allows for some kind of chemical cleaning They are very sturdy though I might just leave them but I really would love to see what a few of these look like cleaned up like they were newer
Comment from : Bonzi Buddy

Is dipping a silver coin in baking soda solution consider type 1 or type 2? No rubbing involved, just dipping and rinsing
Comment from : Gen10nine

What about American Silver Eagle bullion???brWhat about Generic bullion coins???
Comment from : Lip stick

Excellent video! Thanks fam 🙏
Comment from : Veteran Metals

What about steel pennies? You mentioned copper is a no go with 2 mentioned acceptable, but trial at owners risk, cleaners ;) And any thoughts on steam? You mentioned no rubbing Makes sense (cents) but microfiber is very delicate and effective in other areas Again, Thank You!!!
Comment from : Truth Present

Some coins can be cleaned Never clean a toned coin
Comment from : Daniel DeVite

I would avoid toothpaste at all costs Most of it is abrasive As someone who regularly polishes silver (flatware and hollowware), toothpaste is highly likely to leave scratches and damage the surface, especially if it’s whitening
Comment from : Evil Sharkey

cool guy, cool video, thank you!
Comment from : ✨KitKhat✨

I have been thinking about this for a while! Thanks for clearing this up It makes sense to clean off the dirt without harming the strike layer, but if it is damaged, that’s what we don’t want It never made sense to me to leave a bunch of dirt on a coin to where you couldn’t really see the details! Why would that be wrong to clean? I want to see my coin!!! Lol I got some really slick shield nickels and completely doused them in Nickadate until some great details came out I wouldn’t sell them as they are clearly damaged, but they’re mine and I like the details in them They look cool to me! Again, thanks for clearing up a weird area in coin collecting for me
Comment from : Jiggle Piggins

When I was a kid I used to like making my change shiny again by using a pencil eraser my question is, is this safe or not?
Comment from : Saintlucifer lordofdestruction

What about coines found metal detecting? They are usually pretty bad, how do you clean them without destroying their value What about ultra sonic cleaning?
Comment from : cooper

My problem is that I have super rusty and oxidised coins, so the image is no longer visible at all, and I fear it will just get ruined, but I haven't found a proper way to strip away that much rust They're also really old coins Can you help?
Comment from : Raūl Oropeza

Thanks for the info Somebody said to use olive oil But that person was adamant about NOT cleaning any coin I have tried to remove some crud from coins with soap and water and a q tip myself But I was under the impression that you don't even touch the coins with your fingers Thank you for your knowledge and showing it on YouTube
Comment from : Daniel Arellano

Thanks brother appreciate you
Comment from : JHl H

I saw another video a guy cleaned using a soft rubber eraser Would that damage copper?

Comment from : Michael Miller

I am new to coin collection, I when I say new I mean 2 weeks I’ve invested in a microscope and been going through my piggy bank I have question when should we send it to get graded ? I found an off center 1972 quarter and a nice 1979 but I don’t if it’s worth sending out Any advice will help
Comment from : Dad

I learn so much from your informational vids, thx D👍
Comment from : Colin Davison

Would you, could you use a Jewelry cleaner? Mostly just uses water, sometime additive are used, but it doesn’t harm jewelry, it uses sound, no rubbing Just wondering
Comment from : Mondo Speedy

Thanks for telling me! Im really new to coin collecting so luckily the only 2 coins that i think are rare are a South african 2002 world cup 50c and a South african 1c coin
Comment from : Tospsy

I have a 1922-D Peace Dollar in pretty decent condition (releif wise), but the obverse seems to have had celophane tape across her face leaving it a shiny silver while the rest of the coin has taken on a black toning on the entire coin with some red-ish maroon toning on the reversebrMy question is: What would be the best solution to restore it?
Comment from : DanoFireMano

Daniel, my name is Steve I just got through watching your video on cleaning coins I'm a somewhat of a coin freak I also metal detect I don't even clean the coins I find I've seen some very nice coins cleaned before and I knew that they had ruined a prize they thought they had It's a waste to watch some people try to fool not only themselves but others I enjoy your videos I can tell a professional at what he does, and I can tell you have put the hours in your passion Thanks for your time Respectfully Steve

I kind of see it like when you dust your Collectable car, you don’t rub off the top coat Or when you dust off the Rembrandt painting your not removing any layer Just a thought

What are your thoughts on using a dry Jewlery Cleaning and Polishing cloth? Not using any other rubbing or polishing compoundsbrbrWhite Vinegar and origional Tobasco Sauceare they too abrasive? What are your thoughts of using a Jewlery Dip cleanser?
Comment from : KeystonePrepper

I've watched this video twice now Questions left in my mind are bullion and if products such as olive oil, goof off, baking soda are bad? And, when you say "rub" does that include my fingers and any soft cloth? Also, how is the striking surface different from all the other layers? How is the precious metal changed at the surface when struck?
Comment from : Dah Har

How about sand blasting? Sorry, I couldn't help mentioning that ! I use Tarn-X on brass keys, works instantly, but wouldn't use it on coins

Daniel, just wanted to let you know that I have a lot of respect for what you are trying to share with our community br God bless you my brother in Christ Jesus 🙏

Comment from : Bruce Edginton

I have done a couple of bullion coin that had, gunky appearance br Just because I wanted to experiment with the baking soda and aluminum foil br Going to try E-zest today on a old round, just for experimental value br And for experience, the aluminum foil and baking soda did a great job ☺️
Comment from : Bruce Edginton

Is this EZest only good on silver? Just looking for your opinionThank you
Comment from : Donna Flannery

I wish I could show this to my LCS he is a good guy (THE good guy, TBH) but has a real problem with anything that remotely looks cleaned I've even un-culled Morgans and Peace Dollars I could've paid $25 for from his cull pile because he called them cleaned when they had obvious cartwheel luster, no stripping, no wires etc I once brought in a Peace to sell to him when I had need of quick cash to pay an unexpected bill, and because I'd slightly rubbed Eagle with my thumb while thinking at my computer (making him to appear slightly off-color with grime removal) he said it was cleaned, ruined, bullionized I wish I could convert him with this video!! brbrIt would be nice if you could show several examples of the strike layer perhaps partially coming off due to cleaning, and also the difference between improper/harsh cleaning and just planed "Details" cleaned Does the lack of a significant cartwheel on, say, one of the two 1884-O Morgan DMPL's I own unslabbed show that it must be cleaned, when the slabbed 1884-O DMPL I have from PCGS clearly only differs from it in a few grades and with an only slightly visible luster - in other words, are some dates themselves just kind of lackluster form the start? brbrDoes a distilled water bath on a fingerprinted proof constitute cleaning, or at worst just put it at a lower grade if any subsequent light towel-dabbing scratched it under the microscope? Or does a fingerprint ruin a proof and render it damaged cull, as one younger employee at my LCS said? If so, does distilled water bathing clean a Morgan DMPL even though that method DOES remove fingerprints right off the thing, and even though the copper content seems to protect it from a soft, non abrasive, gentle towel dab/dry? brbrIf almost all older coins have been cleaned in some way (eg the museum cleaning example) how long does it take for it to gain enough toning or enough luster-inducing everyday grime to drop the cleaned status, if the coin ever can? If it can't, how does nice toning factor in to selling a cleaned coin from long ago? brbrI'd love to see a follow-up!

Looks like your reading what and how were supposed too clean coins and not share your experiences
Comment from : Eric Peacock

Man, I used MS70 on an 1848 Prussian piece, it was so tarnished that it was hardly recognizable, I really hope I made the right move The reverse looks fine, however, the obverse is the part that you can tell was modified Either way, it was nice to know that the MS70 doesn't do any major damage, thanks for all the information given!

I made a mistake and cleaned several of my coins matter of fact a pretty large quantity how much do this lower the actually value on the corn itself?
Comment from : SPIKE LOVE

I figured acetone would damage the coin Or is it just safe for a short soak or dip?
Comment from : swmovan

Thanks Daniel, everything you spoke of makes perfect sense I've been dealing with this issue for sometime now; however, I don't trust just anyone's answer to this delicate question You I trust your judgment, you are a bright man and I sincerely thank you for your point of view brBlessings,brLouis

Comment from : Charlie_B

Hi Learned a lot from your video I found a sack of coins when going thru the attic at my uncles house after he passed I don’t know anything about coin values or how to sell them Spent a lot of time on uTube to try and learn There are quite a few Susan Anthony dollars and several dollars with the Indian and child and several with presidents on them OK Where do I go from here Where is the best place to go and have them looked at Thank you for your help
Comment from : Bob

Realistically this video should’ve been less than 10 seconds The only advise I have about cleaning coins is don’t just don’t it’s just never worth it even if it’s not worth anything
Comment from : Thedominator 1616

New to the coin collecting world, when I thought of cleaning a coin I was thinking some soap and water for pennies how about silver coins?
