3 Top methods of cleaning pennies

Testing Two of the most popular penny cleaning methods and trying one of my own. ((Please note, pennies that have collector value or that remain in their original pristine mint condition, should not be cleaned with these products!!))
Check out how to increase your coin's value here➡️ • How to Make Your Coins...
The first cleaning will be with vinigar and salt, the second, with vinigar and hydrogen peroxide, and the lastly, with extra virgin olive oil.
I will be using three copper wheat pennys and one steel one, these coins carry collectors value, but they are a bit dirty so only the olive oil will be used. I will also be using some common pocket change for the other tests.

@@craigfrancis9861 There is a chemical named Bar Keeper's Friend that they sell in the store that comes in either powder or liquid form and they work better than vinegar, salt, and the olive oil seen in this video. The Bar Keeper's Friend takes all of the dirt off of the pennies and make them look really shiny like new. I would recommend you use this product. They sell Bar Keeper's Friend in stores like Target, Walmart, Home Depot, or any store where they sell cleaning supplies.

[@lisamiller8739]

I have a 1942 a 1943 & 1944 steel and a 1964 I am so glad I read the comments before trying any of these steps. I am not a collector these are just a few of the coins that my Grandpa had in his drawer. When he passed my Grandma gave me the coins he had aside from other coins. She said since I was always picking up pennies off the ground she thought I would like to have them. I was 22 I am now going on 56 by the sound of it I guess these pennies are worth something. Like I said no collector I just hung on to them because they were Grandpa's.

[@MYGOLDCOIN101]

For sure Lisa, in your case I would see in the couns may have a premium and if they do leave those untouched by conservation, unless they are in danger of extream corrosion or turn out to be of little collector value. The safest method I covered in the video, and I still believe in this method to this day for copper coins is the olive oil rinsed with very hot water and gently dried. I have manyy coins I used this method on years back and they still look excellent. Ultimately, err on the side of caution as I state in the video and description and comments. I wish you good fortune on your coin collecting ventures and I think it quite thoughtful you've kept your grandfather's coins after all these years.

[@johnroberts5285]

Thanks. Great video. I’m new to collecting and I save my pocket change so that my granddaughter and I can check the coins out. I know now not to clean them before doing some research. At this point we just set aside anything older than 2000 or is in excellent circulated condition. The Olive Oil method seems to be a great, fairly non-destructive method for cleaning any coins that we determine are not rare. We will wash with water to date/ identify our coins if we have to. I didn’t know cleaning a coin devalues it. Thanks again..

Urgent announcement! Hi Everyone, I wanted to place this here to clear up any misunderstanding about the purpose of this video, as you if you watch the video through, and read the video description, I explain about not cleaning coins that have collector value, this text is pulled directly from the Video description, ((Please note, pennies that have collector value or that remain in their original pristine mint condition, should not be cleaned with these products!!)) If you are curious about potentially rescuing a coin br sure to research the coin you intend to experiment on, be sure it does not have collector value to prevent damaging it. I hope this helps:) I hope this helps clear up any potential misunderstand about what the video is promoting, have a happy healthy 2021:)

I wanted to polish up a 2006 lucky penny I found in New York, so I tested 3 grimey wallet pennies with the salt+vinegar solution. Two of them (1982 and 2015) lost some of their grime but turned a horrible matte pinky color. The third, a 1972 one, lost some of its grime, but was hardly effected by the solution. So be careful guys!

I had visisted two repital coin appraisers today. There is a new collector that was in the second store. She asked him why some of the exact same coins were being sold at two different prices. The lower priced coins were polished to a mirror shine. The more expensive ones were dirty. His reply was the owner cleaned them. Cleaning coins dramatically lowers its value. As a collectable which as you see. Depreciated their financial value. After the same appraiser/salesman helped me. I asked him if there is a safe way to clean dirty coins. He stated soak them in olive oil. After what he had told the collector. I am very nervous about coin cleaning. And am still not going to clean them.

Hey I tried something a while back using used motor oil and vinegar and it gave a really nice hue to the copper Step 1: clear the lacquer using vinegar or a very unaggressive paint striper Step 2: soak in used but not broken down motor oil for about 5-10 minutes ( keep time in mind for later step ) Step 3: wash of in some water and depending on time soaked use degreaser or break cleaner Step 4: to get rid of the smell it could produce use vinegar (I use corn syrup, both work), just dip it. If you choose to soak it in water and not degreaser I recommend lemon and orange peels which will make it smell real nice.

If you want to clean coins, make sure they are only normal coins that could be used for paying for things, and not valuable if you plan to sell them. Some coins are valuable. There are error coins and such you want to look out for. Typically, American coins having an S or a W on them go for more than a D, a P, or no letter. Keep these in mind, even if you don’t sell the coin, and please do your research. Also find a price chart.

[@donball5918]

I've read many of the comments to this video and am inclined to agree with the general consensus that coins should not be cleaned inasmuch as it severely diminishes their collector value. This being said, in the process of literally examining tens of thousands of pennies over the past several years I have occasionally come across some coins that were so heavily corroded that the date and mint mark were wholly or partial illegible. Such coins are already at the very bottom of the collectibility scale. How much, one might reasonably ask, would you pay for an encrusted coin with no visible date? Chances are that such a coin is a common date but on the off chance it is more desirable what is lost in salvaging a scare date "filler" coin? I think it reasonable to comment that while all collectors would obviously prefer the highest grade they can afford of a given scarce coin affordability is always an impediment to acquiring such pieces and a poor example of a hard to find item such as a 1914 D would as a matter of necessity be prefered over having an empty hole in their coin album.

What do you do if you can’t make out the year due to white grime over the year

[@MacDaddyRico]

@@grcoon If it's mud or dirt, plain water could be used, but if the "white grime" is zinc erosion, it's basically worthless..."If a Lincoln Memorial penny has a date before 1982, it is made of 95% copper. If the date is 1983 or later, it is made of 97.5% zinc and plated with a thin copper coating. For pennies dated 1982, when both copper and zinc cents were made, and best way to determine their composition is to weigh them"...

What if it has a piece of shit on it?

[@MacDaddyRico]

@@dtyegyt Lick it off...

[@Willesden_Rab1_TV]

@OICU812 im just worried if i dont clean the coin - all the dirt on there will erode / damage the coin further ... any help / advice - would be much appreciated

[@nlite10nd1]

if you want to clean your coins this is how you do it...……...NEVER EVER CLEAN YOUR COINS..PERIOD

[@tyhroneskyles4873]

you have chocolate pennies now, acetone and a Q-tip seems to works better on copper because it dries off quick, PCGS & NGC can’t even tell as long as you get the grime off the edges, if you don’t know what you’re doing your best to get them clean professionally if they’re collectible.

[@christymckee8133]

Holy shit! Thats amazing AF!

[@AllerNuttin]

i swear to god this is daily dose of internet

[@pinkbadger9]

I just used a 1934 wheat penny with the vinegar-salt strategy and it looks like a 2010 circulated coin. AMAZING.

[@HueMongussD]

Great job! Now throw it in your pocket and put it in the first gumball machine you come across. Make sure to blow a big bubble until it bursts all over your face.

[@pinkbadger9]

@@HueMongussD i was 9 years old when i wrote that lmao

[@z0mbiezrising]

@@pinkbadger9 Does the coin still look like its from 2010? lol

Listening to this was like listening to Bob Ross teach us how to clean a coin, happy little coins

[@laceyharris3357]

By scrubbing your coins or by using the salt & vineger; you LOSE THE VALUE OF YOUR COINS! PLEASE NO ONE DO THIS IF YOU VALUE YOUR COINS! It will devalue your coins ☹️

I know nothing about coins but I found it curious you didn't do anything to neutralize the chemical interaction experiments but you did rinse the oil; a substance benign to the metal.

[@MYGOLDCOIN101]

Leo Malino during the past month after testing other types of oils, it turns out that rinsing oil from the coins with very hot water causes the oil to act as a sealant, protecting the coin from further oxidation and lack luster. Peanut oil has also yielded good results. The trick is to use heat when removing the oils, the patina will stay intact. The coins I applied the oil methods to are still looking as nice as the day they were conserved. So, oil them lightly, let the oil sit for a few minutes, run with HOT water, and pat dry, or air dry if the coin is of a better grade. Thank you for your quite valid question.

Leo Malino I had to watch this video for the same reason I slow down and rubberneck going past a bad accident!

[@emiliovargas3184]

I was just gonna do this to my coins (BUT) decided to check the comments 😵🕵I guess I'll leave my coins just the way they are

[@-nynydoesgacha-2613]

Why? I don't get it why did you not clean it?

[@yilungmusksweelow1890]

🥊🥊🥊Thanks for the video.

[@Cookie550127]

I clean coins that I hav found while metal detecting so I can spend them. I don’t keep any I jus throw em in the coinstar when they all add up and if I find anything worth keeping I keep, I clean depending on many variables but most of the time I do.

[@jimb6924]

JusSumRandomThing please contact me at [e-mail] I have some questions re your detecting equipment.

[@bettyschneider5268]

Jimmy Bob Bojangle ..... Lol 😆 ya then just keep taping until you see no markings or picture! Then throw in trash 🗑

That 1943 coin could be worth over 1 million dollars

[@bw-leftturnracing7779]

It's steel

[@michaeld6147]

only if it is copper.

[@williamduke6088]

It’s a steel penny and if it was copper in G4 it will be about 100,000 to bad it isn’t. But there’s like 43 known to exists

[@redskulltreasurehunter1658]

Very cool coin

[@cwrobinson6363]

Will this remove corrosion from a coin? I have lots of coins that will not register in a coin counter because of corrosion.

[@Malamockq]

@Triffty Read the laws more carefully, re-purposing coins for art or jewelry is perfectly legal.

[@coins_816]

thanks dude your very helpfull

[@MYGOLDCOIN101]

You're welcome, I hope you have an amazing week!

[@michaelharrington75]

When I was a kid I would shine pennies up with brasso. Its best to leave them as they are if they're valuable.
