You have to use a baking soda paste(with water), or you will NOT neutralize the vinegar and the coin will turn ugly after a while.
Awesome video. Thanks a lot.

Doesn't cleaning them make them less valuable ???

[michaelgale]

Once you rinse off the tobasco sauce or the catsup off the coins, you just get a polishing, or rather a buffing wheel, and add a roll of jeweler's rouge on the coin and it will develope a mirror like finish, just like a proof coin! You'd be real surprised at it's very shiny appearance! :)

[davidh]

That's pretty neat. I will try that with some of my metal detecting finds.

[typeviic]

Remember, if they are buried in the earth for decades, caked in mud, dirt, crust, grime, they are so valuable just like that! Just wrap them 'just like that' in paper coin holders and stick them in your album. If you remove any of the above mentioned crud, they all will have negative value.

[therrienmichael]

I did it as an experiment after digging them up. One can't read the date.
Did olive oil and the unreadable 2nd attempt with hydrogen peroxide.

Numismatic values range from EF .05 each, AU .10 to .20 each prior to "Cleaning". After cleaning Scrap value only (about .05 each). Only useful to read dates of dug coins which are unreadable.

[pokeclaws]

These pennies looked pretty clean to begin with. I mean if you have a funky coin and can’t read it, no harm in cleaning it, if it’s unknown. Like buffalo nickels without a date. I think if you revealed the date with nickel cleaner, and if it’s a key date/date someone is looking for, a lot of people are not purist, & it still has some value. But, If your trying to sell coins you need to disclose you cleaned the coin.

This method kinda works with the 1943 Steel Penny.

[thehammersfamily]

Do you know if it ruins the value?Thanks for sharing

[thetreasurewhisperer]

And the end result 5 ruined pennies yeeeaaa. I know they are just wheat pennies but geese you might as well drilled wholes through them.

[prideofhawaii]

I like your analogy of value versus worth with regard to clean or not to clean a coin. Have you ever tried coca-cola? Don't leave them in there too long because it is corrosive and makes them an odd pink color.

[dabarboza]

Simple, DO NOT CLEAN COINS....if you want to shiny penny go to the bank and get a brand-new roll. It will be worth just as much as any you clean.

[paydenallen]

Would it be safe to do this with the more valuable pennies? I have stuff like A 1955-s and 1909 VDB that are both very dirty, does this devalue them at all, because they're "cleaned"? Thanks

[kariedwards]

I have tried both the vinegar & salt method as well as the ketchup method and they both turned my pennies black...what am I doing wrong? I am trying to shine up my squished pennies from vacations past.

[starfay]

Rubbing the penny with an eraser works really good 😀

[laragalea]

Would you reccomend doing this to someone who just collects the coins, not planning on selling them?

[Shock_Treatment]

Omg, why are there so many people saying he ruined them? I mean my god; just let him do what he wants. They are his property, so you all have no right to say what he does with them, even if he does try it to valuable coins. Besides, keeping dirt and grime on them actually will ruin them over time, and keeping them dirty to preserve their value is a human concept anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
