Comment from : Noteworthy

After some less than wonderful outcomes here and there, I don't "clean" coins at all anymore There are just too many potential problems with the final results And just because I tell someone the coin has been cleaned, doesn't mean the next guy will
Comment from : Tom Gore

I really don't understand how a pure silver coin, which is 9999 silver, which has been handled by thousands of hands, and what not, can not be cleaned
Comment from : John Ingram

Great video Daniel I would clean my Lincoln cents because they came from the bank and coin machines where people bring them in and dump them in coin machines and God only knows the percentage of cup holder coins, art project coins , glues and nail polish ,gum,all sorts of gunk I don't care about value it's my collection I just want to be able to see what ever details are left on them

Comment from : Anita Clancy

Hi how much is your coins which one you cleaning now if you want to sell it
Comment from : Amir Dj

If it's a glue-based adhesive use Naptha It's similar to acetone in that it's volatile and evaporates easily, but it works faster than acetone on glues, tapes or anything that's sticky And I recommend using solvent resistant gloves whenever you use acetone, naptha or heptane to remove sticky substances

Big time help thanks
Comment from : Steven Scott

Hey Daniel, after seeing this, I had some coins which I was thinking I'd test on I had bought a cull roll of V nickelsthey had all sorts of issues, however there was an 1883 (no cents) where the date looked near pristine, as did the denticles I could make out I used the qtip method you demonstrated hereWhat I revealed on this coin was very sharp detail, Id say up to AU details, maybe slightly more While its still discolored (these coins had to be stored in the most awful of ways) I was able to remove enough to where looking through a loop shows all detail, a beautiful complete Liberty, and almost all hair detail is intactThe denticles look mint state Of course doing this (I wrote "acetone" on the flip) isn't going to do anything for its value however, Im glad I did this, for if I didnt, I wouldnt have been able to see just how high quality and out of circulation the coin always wasand it didn't seem to really harm the coinit just removed what it could Thanks for this video

THANKS FOR INFO

If I have a error coin should I clean it with anything
Comment from : Roy Burns

I use it on coins that I don't care about I wouldn't use a Q tip
Comment from : Dean

Personally, I don’t like dirty coins, and I also use acetone to to clean a dirty coin if acetone is good for cleaning a Rolex it is it good enough for a coin if a coin has been around since the 1800s, you know that it has been cleaned at one point and if it’s in immaculate condition, that coin has been a safe Queen in some bankers personal collection and not circulated as long as you can read the date of the coin and hasn’t been that worn to me, they’re worth collecting I can live with micro scratches but I don’t like gouging on a coin
Comment from : Rene Ebarguen

Anyone know if there has ever been a 1964 d Jefferson stamped on a solid copper planchet?
Comment from : Benjamin Willis

Not boring at all
Comment from : Keith Daniels

If you are using Acetone, wear gloves Acetone does get absorbed by your skin and Acetone is known to cause kidney and liver damage So be careful and wear gloves Clean in a well ventilated area Having Acetone on your skin is not the only way your body can absorb acetone The fumes can be absorbed by eyes and through your lungs as well as by touch Just be careful
Comment from : Franklin Martin

It's a helpful lesion for me
Comment from : J Bond

Comment from : Peter Perigoe

Hi SirI just heard u mention how the camera likes to zoom in on the background But u had it zoom right in on the coin I think this is REALLY an issue with these cameras on our phonesespecially my Apple Device! How did u get it to stay zoomed in on the front image (if u dont mind me asking)
Comment from : Queen E

"FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY" & "not responsible for your outcome", said and posted by you, are your best friend I have hundreds of beautiful Morgans with pvc from old flips I'll be suing you after I use your acetone method of cleaning, ROTFLMAO
Comment from : Ray Holt

I use goofoff for getting off glue,tar,candy,oils,dirtGoofoff works good for coins and will not harm the metalIt will not remove corrosion or heavy stains/toning
Comment from : SilverDollarSaloon

I just would like ur opinion on thing I found in one of collection
Comment from : caroline Lawson

I would not clean a coin under any circumstance
Comment from : Richard Be Happy

We've used acetone on copper coins with the green cancer growing on it Corrosion needs to be stopped! So cleaning in this situation is better than letting it continue
Comment from : Numismatics Anonymous

Daniel Brother,brYou did show us your ez est method so you cannot say “ I don’t show you”br Have a Great One Brother
Comment from : Kevin Sutton

Would a grading service consider using the acetone cleaning the coin
Comment from : Josh K

What about Vacuum sealing your coins ?
Comment from : Warren SLO

I give every coin I send to NGC an acetone bath first to avoid any problems with PVC, never had any problems Usually gives my 19th century silver a better shine before encapsulation
Comment from : John Cavalari

Acetone is non reactive to metals used in numismatics I have soaked coins in acetone for a couple of weeks before trying to remove some sort of gunk and it didn't harm them at all Come to find out, all I needed was distilled water because acetone doesn't remove sugar based contaminates
Comment from : Tim Stroud

hypothetical question, how about using term "preserved" instead of "cleaned" would that sound better or is there a difference between the two, if it is, please explain so your YouTubers don't leave you a Nasty comments that they have been in the past lol thanks
Comment from : khon

Never seen anyone use a q tip on a coin I guess it's alright ifyou don't plan to send them off for grading Used acetone for 20 years or more always dipped them
Comment from : David Peterson

Thank you for saying what you do on your coins I don't really care what happens one way or the other because I have coins that you can't see what they really are so I will take a chance on Thank you for the honest way you treat us newness! By the way what do you think about my featured coin?
Comment from : Cynthia Greene

Thanks for showing us
Comment from : Teacher1388

Are MS70 or EZ-ease basically acetone?
Comment from : Philip Raimondo

Sir i have 1 pc 1998p Washington liberty quarter dollar I'm from India
Comment from : Gopi Murugaiyan

Acetone is effective in removing fat-soluble substances and adhesives It has no reactivity with metalsbrThere's only one problembrToning proceeds quickly after washing with acetonebrIf you do not like toning, put a coin in a solution of a small amount of mineral oil and acetone, take it out, and dry it in the airbrIt forms a kind of thin protective film
Comment from : 흰장갑

I have submerged really bad coins inside a small jar containing acetone, rinse with water, and dried I have submitted for grading and they have not been returned as cleaned So far so good
Comment from : Will B

MEK , methel - ethyl- keytone dose not evaporate as fast as acetone and will not desolve plastic
Comment from : James Deam

Thank You for the information 👍
Comment from : David Carlisle

2 dollars at the dollar store, what crazy times we live in
Comment from : Drickett1

Acetone dissolves grease, and oily stains Acetone is an alcaline, like alcohol, an cannot harm silver It destroyes plastic however!
Comment from : Kenny Long

What I like to do is use a soft paint brush and Dawn dish soap and use the soft brush to get into the tiny spots and it seems to do a good job for me? I dont plan on selling any of my coins either I just have a hard time with using chemicals on my coins? lol
Comment from : Billy SCG P

I dont like glue on my coins either But i do remove the glue On copper i removed some glue the coin was toned after removing the ugly glue spot the copper was shinny under the glue
Comment from : Nickel & Dime Coin Hunter

Hi Daniel! I bought a Morgan from a bargain bin that was in a display The reverse hade a layer of that old hard glue I got it all off by soaking in hot water! Reverse is now BU! 😁 Cheers, Brother!
Comment from : Opus Singer

What about the silver cleaner jewelry stores use Jerry Mcdonogh
Comment from : J McD

Thanks DANIELI needed this info
Comment from : Donna Flannery

Acetone is not the very best chemical to remove glue, a matter of fact it will not remove glue worth a damn, when you find a coin with glue on it I would switch up my chemical and use mineral spirits, mineral spirits will melt and dissolve the glue and remove it whereas acetone will just make it gummy
Comment from : Robert Richards

Coin grading companies can detect clean coins and lower the coins' grade and value So better to leave old coins the way they appeared Unless the coins are not much value just as testing the solution for fun
Comment from : Larry Muir

i see nothing wrong with trying to remove old pvc residue with acetone something fun, put taco bell hot sauce on a couple of pre 82 cents that you care nothing about
Comment from : Silas Marner

Thank you Daniel I have been looking at tape on a 1922 Peace dollar since 1984, (I was 5 years old, dad had this coin now its mine) but I've been thinking about this for a few years now & Working at Ace Hardware I see acetone everyday, think I will try this
Comment from : Nonyo Business

I began collecting coins 50years ago if you bought a coin they always dipped them soon as you bought em 🙄
Comment from : Donald Desnoo

Interesting, I've been wondering about this Used acetone when I use to do silk screening It literally freezes and knocks off ink that you didn't want to get on a shirt Seems it works similar with coins Good to know and thank you for sharing

Thanks for the info and video
Comment from : Julito Ireneo Jr

I keep my coins in Equate pill pouches only one in a pouch is this good or bad
Comment from : Mailliw Nosneb

Thank you so much for sharing this information When it comes right down to it, it's a choice And i've been learning all I can in order to make an informed decision Some of my coins are so bad, cleaning them is the only way I can see what I have And let me say this laughingly I get so irritated sometimes to see what is underneath that I don't care if the coins value is affected Knowing the answer for my own amusement and education was worth it Again, thank you very much for all your insight
