“cleaning junk coins” in VINEGAR (easy way to remove corrosion)

[MrDAHSIN]

This technique works miraculously and doesn't seem to eat into the silver at all. It just breaks down the corroded material and with moderate mechanical assistance removes unsightly stains and corrosion. The never clean crowd lose sight of the fact that most modern coins that are not low mintage or otherwise rare, and that are not in AU or better condition have little value beyond their material. Junk silver is still junk silver whether or not it has been cleaned, but severely corroded silver may be rejected by potential buyers are not familiar with the way coins look when they are in corroded condition. Thanks for sharing 👍

I get that if you clean them it "reduces the value" but if you don't clean it you can't even see what the coin is!? I can't imagine a little vinegar would hurt the value of a coin. but I'm no expert... clearly

[modernlunacy]

I collected about an lb worth of the most corroded coins from my old junk car. This is perfect before a trip to the count counting machine 😅

"These are old clad silver dollars." So...clad dollars.

This is where i feel that the dont clean your coins crowd goes too far. You're taking a upgradable coin and exposing what should be underneath. Especially when you're talking about removing a corrosion that would do far more damage to ignore. This is more of a Conservation in that aspect.

Is it ok to wash them in hot water and dish soap (dawn?)

Some are just dirty as heck.

What was the answer about getting closure of pennies

[Seabass]

Why does it reduce the value if you clean them?

[danallansarthou]

Cleaning coin as simple for vinegar, Remove calcifying coin?

Ive got pennies that were given to me by my late father. He said some of them might be valuable. Problem is, some have so much corrosion, I can't see the dates. I also don't have great health and couldn't scrub the pennies individually (tried, took all my strength and energy to get a couple - barely readable). Any advise. I know that buyers WON'T buy something they aren't sure of. I also don't want to be cheated if any of them are valuable.

The reason I ask is cuz I'm trying to find a way to get the corrosion off of the old Roman coins that I have some of them are so corroded there's no detail whatsoever because of the corrosion that's all over it and I'm trying to get that corrosion off to see if there's any detail I mean the coins ain't worth anything but

[robocopleextraordinaire]

So basically another coin cleaner video, where the creator tells us not to do it...

[leopoldomolina]

So you just reduced the value of this coin by leaving it in vinegar? I personally don’t think so unless I had used a brush and scratch it, which is really bad. I guess the vinegar could reduce the patina and that could be a reason why some people could say its value is now reduced. Am I wrong ?

I’ve got a 1990 50¢ piece that’s my lucky coin and I want to clean it

[pillargauss]

Thank you for sharing. I tried but something not working quite well. When the coins came out of vinegar, they were cleaner. I first washed off the coin with running water, and then I dried them with towels and left them on a piece of paper overnight. But more rust developed on the coin surface. Why? What else can I do?

[fairytailloverchannel]

What is the coin that I'm trying to clean with the vinegar is already copper Will it destroy the copper coin

[COMBAT]

Why would cleaning the coin reduce its value?

Watch Rocky's Ramblings clean coins submitted for grading videos to learn more.

Set it in the sunlight and see if it works faster.

Y does it drop value to the coin? Wouldn't u want it clean, so u can tell what it is? Ik I would rather purchase a clean coin, than a rusty one.
