Great video, I myself love conserving coins, taking a coin that looks parch and dirty and bringing out the beauty of the coin back to its glory If you think your technique will make people cringe; you should check out my technique, it may make people explode in their seats, LOL I have a few videos of how I conserve mine and customer coins and what techniques I use; if you'll interested My favorite coin that I cleaned was a 1912 Austria 2 Heller, man that coin had some major grim and pvc damage, but with some of my cleaning techniques, and lots of solution(coincare) the end transformation was wow I have a video of it as well Thanks for your videos, I have learned a lot from them and from your knowledge Thanks Johnny Comment from : VintageAvenueRareCoinsAndMore |

You did a beautiful job on this video, especially showing clear video of the coin surfaces Most other coin guys haven't figured out how to keep their camera in focus YOU mastered it here Congratulations! This is a difficult topic to demonstrate I tried cleaning some RB Lincoln cents and they came out with a slightly rainbow tinge to them, which wasn't bad, I'm just worried that someone might say they're cleaned I think I accidently discovered what some guys are doing to create a somewhat fake rainbow lustre This has got me a bit confused on how to determine which coins have a legitimate rainbow tint and which are totally natural When I went to the recent LB coin show, there was a guy there with a whole display case of rainbow toned coins I didn't buy anything because I felt it was kind of suspicious that all his coins had a too similar tone to them It was very odd But after accidently toning one of my coins with a dipping solution, I am trying to do some more research on toned coins, especially copperbrbrOnly problem is that your link to your products page below your video is coming up as a page not found Since your cleaner has such a generic name, I was curious which coin cleaner you actually are using, so I can buy some You didn't display it, in your video You displayed the box of the old cleaner, right?

Got some really nice chocolate copper nothing was devigation that you need that level of cleaning but that's a good trick to know cuz I know how to clean silver and gold 😊👍 Comment from : Ehren Krause |

Some people take this topic way too seriously and some people yeah you wish you could have that coin not molested but it is what it is Apparently making a joke about Scotch-Brite and coins rubs people the wrong way 🤣 Comment from : Ehren Krause |

What solutions are used for coin conservation? Was looking to dip mine in some baths and looking online I have seen Leuchtturm and Lindner offer some gold and silver baths Are they goood or do you have any recommendations? Thanks! Also are there different dips for proofs vs bullion? Comment from : Paul Bajan |

What is the best material to Dry off the coin so that no scratching appears when going in for grading Seems like a paper towel would be a little abrasive Comment from : Steven Grubb |
 |
Gold doesn't tarnish at all Comment from : Neville |
 |
I'm in the middle, generally i'd leave them alone But that being said, if the coin is absolutely filth encrusted to the point that the coin is almost indistinguishable, I'd clean it (carefully) Comment from : Leo Krupp |
 |
Definitely use cotton instead of paper to wipe the coins There is a reason why people wipe eye glasses with cotton instead of paper Comment from : Lewis |
 |
Best video ever! Comment from : Gardener Earth Guy |

Why not just dip for few minutes and wipe Comment from : Sat Perush |

Will this work on a large cent that I found detecting? Been in the soil for about 170 years and very distressed looking with lots of muck and buildup on it,thanks Comment from : J Boomer |

Its no big deal to clean the (cinamuck) off a coin Its not a gun Its just a coin They make it look like their the only people on earth that can do it If i clean one oh,,, heaven forbid Thats an insult ive cleaned a bunch in my day with out chems and they aren't scratched or ''wizzed'' I cleaned my coins all the time way back when i was a kid because i didnt like crap on my money i had a coin 2 weeks ago and didnt know what it was so i cleaned it and it turned out to be a 1918 penny i sold it for 1 buck nice profit eh? Comment from : Captain Moretokin |
 |
HOLY COW!brI have this exact coin it is extremely corroded and I'm trying to clean it Nice to know what it is tho Comment from : Hanzaki |
 |
I use this on silver also Just a pain to get the stuff off completely with out leaving hairlines Also contrary to what they say it does affect some toned coins to a degree I also roll the Q-tip and use cotton tissues to dab dry a coin or a microfiber cloth Comment from : gtrlover7 |
 |
Nice! Comment from : Ethan Price Outdoors |
 |
Five per cent acidic white vinegar,dawn,water in Sonic vibrator for five minutes for gold,silver and copper compositios works real nice,it brings coins barely handled to near original luster Don't use on zinc Comment from : Dale Bronniman |

Take a penny and put a drop of Texas Pete and watch what happens Shines like new money Comment from : Raymond Hunter |

im into "LOCK-SPORT" this is were you pick locks for fun! my locks are made from copper and have green corrosion on them and they are difficult to work "COIN-CARE" is $12 for 2 oz and their are less expensive products like "MS-70 Coin Cleaner" $18 for 8 oz however i do not care about scratches im curious would the "GUN-CLEANER" work for copper? Comment from : charles klein |

Going to send in all my 90’s close AM and wide AM coins I’m curious to see what my 92 close AM comes back as it looks brand new off the press thanks for the video, oh and I used the gun cleaner dark brown stuff with a dab of gun lube after it’s clean and wow never knew about gun cleaner but makes sense Comment from : The Anonymous |
|
|
People in comments everyone knows about Acetone and it’s good, this way give the old coin it’s look back without showing any signs of cleaning and watch how he runs it not easy because that cleaner is like blu ribbon it brings it back to new I knew there was another solvent other than coin care that would work great gun cleaner and gun lube works wicked brings back the brown and even takes away scratches under the scope Comment from : The Anonymous |
 |
Never Clean coins if you dont like It Sell it Dont mess it upPal Comment from : William Eason |
 |
Informative I clean only those coins with little or no numismatic value just to get the gunk offespecially those found while metal detecting Thanks for sharing! Comment from : The Numismaniac |
 |
Ben the use of Coin Care / Blue Ribbon doesn't concern me, but the rubbing with a paper towel does In cleaning glasses, I know paper towels are discouraged but cloth towels are preferred, as scratches are more susceptible with paper fibers Also the rubbing could use loosened dirt particles as a cutting media on the coins Gentle agitation is needed Comment from : Silver Buckeye |
 |
We had house fire and got or coins out after being in weather and burnt What can we do to clean them up so can tell what they are? We have all kinds varieties we had collected or passed down from grandparents Comment from : Lisa Leveck |

I have 23 Morgan Silver Coins ranging from 1878 to 1922 They were all glued into a card 80 or so years ago When I removed them some paper came off with the coins Is there anything I can do to remove the paper and glue from the backs? Comment from : Its My Chance |

Most paper and cardboards are Not Acid Free !brTalk to Artist Painting Restoration Experts Comment from : Tree3 Climber |
 |
Do you use distilled water to rinse the coin after you wipe off the gunk? Comment from : joconell1 |
 |
Great video! Great point regarding restoration of the USS Central America coins Comment from : Adam Douglas Henry |
 |
Update please! Comment from : Nathan Kim |
 |
Please use a COTTON cloth to remove the chemical - fibers in paper towels will scratch the coin An old T-shirt is perfect Gunk inside lettering and close to edges of design can easily be removed with a good magnifying glass/microscope and a porcupine quill (see eBay - really inexpensive) The quill is not hard enough to make a mark on a coin (some dirt particle trapped under the end of the quill when you apply pressure can so clean the quill point often - I just wipe on a cloth Acetone cannot chemically interact with the metal of the coin - hence safe for removing stuff Xylene can be used if acetone fails Comment from : Lee Brewer |

My dad washed a little bunch of coins with a chemical called CLR it is used to clean rust and toilets and it’s cleaning them very good they were in horrible condition cause the were sitting in dirt in my garage it’s 80 plant paced Comment from : Gr33n Ryz3 |

Is there a way to remove duct tape from nickels and pennies without ruining them please help Comment from : Jason Hoover |
 |
Did you end up submitting the coin to get it graded? Thanks Comment from : Renners Jewelry |
 |
Is it ok to use ceramic coating to keep the coins in mint condition? Comment from : El Fixo |
 |
Hey Ben I use dawn also, it’s great at removing gunk Just be careful on copper coins it will lighten them if left on too long Rub lightly with nitrate gloves if needed Comment from : MeanboyCoins |
 |
What is in the red frame on the left of the video? It looks cool Comment from : Kyle Knapp |
 |
Like your videos, just subscribed, question, did you send these off for certification? I have scores of large cents that need exactly this Also have you heard anything like thisaluminum wrap a polished or whizzed silver coins and bake for a bit, the fake surface will vanish? any truth to that?br thanks for tips, brRey Comment from : Travelwithus2there |
 |
I did not learn how to clean a coin!! Where do U get this blue diamond gunk? Comment from : Dan Fino |
 |
Any good ideas for Nickel coins? I have an unc 1903 Liberty that was in a relative's album for 60 years that when I took it out had a bad green spot of corrosion Comment from : Seaholm Dem |
 |
I think you did a couple things wrong Never rub the coin, use a q-tip to roll the liquid Next I use a toothpick to move the gunk and wipe the toothpick clean frequently Please do not rub with a paper towel I really like your videos, but I had to comment this time Comment from : brian haight |
 |
I really liked this one When it comes to conservation -- copper is the tricky one Not knowing what product actually works without turning the coin pink I have never used Coin Care, so it was nice to see that it did not change the original color of the coin I'm curious what other products you have used on copper, both good and bad I have several with the green verdigris so I may just have to give Coin Care a try Thanks! Comment from : Don |
 |
Great video Ben Thanks for walking us through this Comment from : Shane Morris |
 |
Why did you use a Q-tip and not just dip the coin? Comment from : William Okeson |
|
|
We all know that the grading companies only "restore" coins so that they can charge you more $$$ Comment from : William Okeson |
 |
NGC and ANACS have a conservation service I guess they do it the right way Comment from : typeviic1 |
 |
Why would there not be the risk of visible hairlines resulting from the coin being "rubbed off"? Is it just a "feel" for goin that far but not too far? Comment from : Jim Sullivan |
 |
Well I will be waiting on the result Comment from : Timothy Loyd |
 |
There is a difference between cleaning and conservation Some would say a fine line What you are doing is conserving the coin; if left alone, that verdigris would continue to eat away at the copper By removing it, you ARE conserving the coin and preventing more damage from occurring That is why the grading companies allow it, unless they see that your cleaning methods have left scratches or otherwise altered the surface of the coin itself, eg, polishing I haven't used Coin Care but have a half-dozen others; I really like a product called "Safe Clean" because it's non-toxic and biodegradable I've had good results with it on silver, nickel and copper, but copper is a little tricky because it reacts to just about any chemical Good video And really, for all the naysayers, I've seen so many copper coins that were pitted and had terrible holes from environmental damage once that layer of metal is gone, there is no fixing it Think of the coins that are found in the ground metal detecting - look at the damage There is a professional, responsible way to conserve coins and it should be more accepted In fact, it IS more accepted among coin dealers And believe me, the grading companies know when a coin has been cleaned or conserved Comment from : Bill Bryant |

Love the content I have a bottle sitting in my eBay cart for a week I wish someone would reproduce a VerdiCare formulation again Awesome video timing for me being on the fence Love the content as always my friend Comment from : SaltCityHustlin 315 |

This is disgusting to watch Never do this again CoinGeek Comment from : Superior Deftrex |
 |
hey i just came in there drunk which i apologize in advance for i bought 10 dollars face of mix silvers, also asked u how much u charge to send a coin off to get graded i cant remember how much you said Comment from : MrVapor520 |
 |
So if NGC or PGCS does it, it's called "conservation", but if Joe Bag O'Donuts does it, it's called "cleaning" Did I get that right? One more question: do the TPGs put a "Conserved" designation on their slabs? OK, a third question for Ben: how difficult is it to get the solution inside the denticles and the loops of the date numerals? Comment from : David Ufford |
 |
I use the eraser end of a #2 pencil ✏️ to conserve my early key-date Lincoln cents in order that they will upgrade from Very Fine to Extremely Fine 😀🙄🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂 Thanks, Ben🤓 for pulling the veil back on conserving Copper coinage !!! Comment from : Roger Kinard |
 |
InterestingbrWould PCGS or NGC slab a coin as cleaned after using thisbr I just did several videos with some older European coins that were sent to me where they were all taped down with scotch tape on old paper When I removed them they were sticky so I soaked them in hot water with liquid hand soap The adhesive did dissolve but some of the copper or bronze ones do still show some green in areas but none would be of enough value to take it a step further with this product Comment from : GD Saving The Past |
 |
I have a half cent that was treated with Dealer Darkener before/as I was purchasing it I plan on sending it in for conversation Is there some procedure wherein I have to tell whoever I send it in too what happened to avoid bad side effects? Comment from : Ant2242 |
 |
Out of all the coins i have collected there is only 1 coin i would consider having it Proffessional Cleaned, and thats my 1864 LM 2 cent Its full red 1 die crack thats hard to see and a ever slight die break it has 2 green spots that have formed in the last 6 months since i got and it drives me crazy that it appeared Typically im against cleaning but i am very sersious on having it cleaned to preserve it prestiage that it has, plus i the coin absolutly dirt cheap so i can afford the cleaning service once i find someone Comment from : Matt Erdmann |
 |
I find the baking soda cleaning method works best for cleaning muck from copper coins without changing the colour of them Comment from : SILVER FINGER THE SILVER STACKER |
 |
any videos on removing carbon spots? Comment from : 40belowful |
 |
I don’t have a problem if someone wants to do this; however I disagree with someone doing this and selling it as an original surface, or attempting to get by the grading services and get it slabbed as an original non issues non cleaned coin And not stating that it was done I personally want a coin that has the highest probability of being an original coin and original surface Those are the coins I want Original I do not have an issue if someone wants to clean their coins, or clean them and sell them as cleaned/dipped Comment from : Old Roy Wilson |
 |
I need to have a 1809 half cent conserved As the date is an odd variety looking like both "o over 0" and" 9 over inverted 9 " Comment from : Corey Merrill |
 |
Muy interesante, gracias por la explicacion Comment from : Daniel Martel |
 |
Thanks I mainly worry about pvc damage on silver coins, which a good bath in acetone usually helps I’ve gotten a few coins graded this way without the cleaned designation Comment from : Serby |
 |
I'm looking forward to the NGC grading Thanks for the video Comment from : Astrodiver 1 |
 |
I have a ‘21 High relief Peace dollar, NGC slabbed, graded VF Details “environmental damage”brIt looks like crap but it’s slabbed but it looks like hell but it’s a ‘21 High relief and it’s graded and encapsulated BUT IT LOOKS LIKE CRAPbrDilemma, huh? Comment from : Silver Drill Pickle |
