Questions & Comments

The response i've got from collectors and dealer both is NEVER clean a coin other than rinsing dirt off with water.

yeah, that is for sure, i know almost everything is abrasive..what i have are unc cents with fingerprints on em. my dad said try baby oil and a q tip and just dab..

I'm not sure if that would work or not. Fingerprints are left by the oil on your fingers. Any type of cleaning you do may result in losing some of the luster. I've found the best thing to remove any type of oil is Dawn, but then again, with coins you still have the same issue with the luster

well, i will give that a try...i got a quote un- opened, un searched roll with finger prints and only 20 coins from 50 are any good.

Mar 24th, 2012 at 2:59:18 PM PDT by

use cigaret ashes to clean coins

Mar 26th, 2012 at 3:19:00 PM PDT by

thanks, never did try that one yet..but never hurts to try, esp if the coin has prints all over it anyway.

Coins in general should NEVER be cleaned, unless you've dug them up out of the ground, then it should only be done by soaking in virgin olive oil for several months, then using a soft bristle tooth brush to remove the dirt. Any cleaning you do will affect the luster, and it also removes small amounts of the metal. Most coin collectors don't want cleaned coins, they can not be graded by any of the grading services. It is best to leave as they are.

A brown patina is much better than a coin that has been damaged by cleaning
