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

After searching some quarters for my state quarter collection - I tried some Dawn “spray on” power wash on them ( bad idea) 👎 and it left them with a golden hue! 😧 So now I wash them in Dawn dish soap and it seems to be a much milder cleaning with a very soft toothbrush Thanks much for the informative video Daniel! 👍 Comment from : Dougster

How do i clean off grease and dirt where i can't see details ? Comment from : Debbie Spangler

To clean or not to clean that is the question I have to take it in a case by case basis I had to clean my entire silver collection due to PVC damage I distinctly remember way back in the days when there was no reports and I asked they dealer about PVC flips he said they were fine Well 20 years later it is not so fine Can't do much about the copper so I had to just leave it My ancient bronze a soft wire brush was fine but there were a few that were encased in mud that it was hard as a rock No amount of soaking in water was going to help so I had to resort to electrolysis Seriously not the way but it is the last resort To my surprise one came out very well The rest not so much Comment from : Norm

If I only collect ,"cleaned" coins, nobody else can tell me that they are not worth what I paid because they have been cleaned Comment from : JCrockett 870

Does 'cleaning' really make a difference sometimes Instead of being Offered 50/60 of coins value, Dealers might Offer 20/30 Just the title, 'Dealer', conjurs up an image of that guy who works for the Casino standing behind the 'Black Jack' table the guy who makes sure your money winds up in the Casino's coffers After all, they do have a lot of overhead lol Comment from : domingo de la torre

Any cleaning that preserves the surface of the coin is fine if it damages the surface of the coin it's no good We want to remove foreign substances on the surface of the coin only Comment from : shekatagani

I have a 1877 cc dime that would be xf - au but it has black gunk all over it What should I do? It's definitely xf quality Comment from : FirstCav Coins

I'm more about stacking silver than I am about collecting coins but I do like and respect the collecting coin community I have some coins but I want them to be shiny and clean but I've decided that I'm not going to clean my coins I have some the Morgan's I've decided to trade those coins in and pay the premium for shinier ones instead of devaluing them because I plan to keep my silver and I want shiny silver but I don't want to step on anyone toes so I figured just spend the money on trading them for shiniy ones So whenever I get the itch to buy some coins I'll just trade up and get my fix like that Comment from : Marcus Brown

Never clean coins unless your going to use them to buy stuff Collectibles should never be cleaned Comment from : This guy

I’m new to the coin collecting world I recently read something(on the internet or course? that said to dip pennies in vinegar and salt I was blown away how it took a old beat up funky thing and made it “like new” In essence, it looks unnatural The shiny pennies get a nice little luster with a quick dip but the older ones look pink Comment from : Sean Waz

Thank you ❤️😊🦃 Comment from : Kari Nall

Interesting I have coins in Whitman coin folders that have sat in them since the 1960s I very rarely look at them Today I looked at the Roosevelt dime folder, in response to someone else's video, and I saw that some of the coins are not doing well I thought I had more of them in rolls, but it turns out I have three tubes of Mercurys No additional Roosevelts I guess I wasn't impressed with the design However, I digress I won't be bothering to clean them I have no plans to sell any of the coins Likely, they're worth little Comment from : Gene S

I have never sold any of them I only collect them But my dad passed in August and a bad storm came through and a tree fell on our home We ok but trying to repair our roof So now I may need a too sale a couple of then look at different sites I still have no idea Comment from : light in your heart

I use ms70 to clean off surface dirt but i never scrubi roll the qtip over iti just collect so i like a clean looking coin Comment from : Jeffrey Eichler

I have gold bullion coins: that is, coins that have little numismatic value For example, I have dozens of George V Sovereigns, none of which are mint condition Also many Dutch 10 Guilder gold coins These and other coins I collect have been used in circulation as money, and are grimy with finger grease and grime, besides the dings and scratches all over I like them to shine a little, but am aware of the damage caused by aggressive cleaning I use a 2 hour soak in dilute soapy water, followed by washing in clean water, followed by light wiping down with 98 methyl-alcohol using a cotton tip soft cotton swab The alcohol dries out the coin This seems to be good I can detect no cleaning streaks or scratches under a dissecting microscope after cleaning this way I'd be glad to know what you think Comment from : Baron Bar

Hello dan I allways wash my change ( not silver or gold ) dawn dish soap water and a cotton towel one at a time haha tc🇺🇸 Comment from : Tim Haas
