How to Clean Coins - Using MS70 Coin Restorer on Silver Coins

[@RobFindsTreasure]

How to Clean Coins - Using MS70 Coin Restorer on Silver Coins First off, let me address the obvious... I know many of you have been told to never clean coins. But, keep in mind that removing gunk, debris, glue, tape and grime from a coins surface without rubbing and/or scratching is acceptable as long as you are very careful and use products that are either designed to restore a coin or use only warm water and pat dry. That being said, I am a firm believer in NOT using any products myself (perhaps leave it up to the expert coin restorers) on ANY potentially valuable coins (such as key dates), and especially not on any copper coins that have turned brown after years of storage. Now that the disclaimers are out, in this video I will be reviewing the MS70 Coin Restorer. I will refer to it as "cleaning the coin" in this video as it is just easier to say. I'll be testing it on silver quarters and silver half dollars with varying degrees of dirt, glue, tape, grime, etc - to see how they come out. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

Hi Rob! This video is 2 years old so I don't know if you'll see this. But to clean my dirty coins (very common dates and really dirty, like a combination of the first 2 in the video) I use the aluminum foil, baking soda, hot water method. It works great. Removes some of the tarnish and grime without any effort and the rest comes off on 99% of the coins with just a few seconds of rubbing with a damp cloth and some baking soda, which does no harm whatsoever to the coin itself. Everyone seems to be against cleaning until they're not and then they want to use chemicals when a couple of everyday household goods work better. I don't get it. (btw, I don't understand why folks like toning. I get rid of it with a couple minutes soak in vinegar; another everyday household product.)

[@sunsolstar]

[@rufferto5429]

I really think the taboo against cleaning coins is complete nonsense. I notice that when they cleaned the Sistine chapel the value of the painting didn't go down. Who decided coin cleaning is bad?

[@andrewdevlin8756]

I think the “taboo” against it has more to do with amateur collectors cleaning their coins. By wiping at the coin, many collectors put small scratches and marks into their coins which lower the value. However, if it is an expert coin cleaner, there should be no problem doing so.

[@j.tyler2024]

It is when you strip the natural luster from the die coming from the mint. If you restore and dont take what the mint intended on the luster them cleaning is fine

[@bbaaspencer1]

My issue is people do what this man is doing and just removing the gunk, then send the coin in for grading and get slapped with “cleaned” on the grading label and then it reduces it’s value 🙄

[@jimgoodreau1245]

Wen a coin is dirty it should be carefully cleaned. I use baking soda and hot water, and pat dry. If a coine is high grade don't touch it!

[@stinkasscat]

I think this issue with cleaning has to do with grading services not wanting to mess with or put any value to dirty coins or coins that come out of the ground. It favors them making more money from people's coins.

The cleaner did improve the appearance of the coins and made them look better than they were.

Careful on that blackness on nickels, some of it's not dirt but a reaction from not having the right layers on there and is desirable to some collectors as black beauties.

My personal experience with ms-70 is mixed. I tried it on an 1827 large cent I got off of ebay for $2 that was extremely concreted, a war nickel with bad water damage, and a 64 Rosie dime that I found metal detecting. After working on the large cent for a while I found that it definitely helped but it is probably impossible to get all the concreteion off. Over time the large cent did turn blueish and I would not recommend using ms-70 on copper. The war nickel did get significantly better but much of the water damage did remain. In the future I may go back at it again. Lastly the Rosie dime did get cleaner but it remained very cloudy. Overall it helped but with extreme damage it is very difficult to get clean.

[@williamfindspeople4341]

The taped Kennedy is definitely chemically altered with the old tape glue. Old tape glues are very destructive. The one with the dark edge is lacquer or tobacco juice, probably from a coin stash or bagged coins kept in a moist basement or cellar or some kind of cachet.

[@jimcaufman2328]

Rob, I live outside of Portland, Oregon area. Loomis is in Portland, so all my coins pass through there. I started collecting in the late 1950 and have never cleaned a coin until this year. I have lived in 10 states and a few foreign countries. By far the dirtiest coins I have ever experienced are here in Oregon. None of the coins I clean are for collecting but as a public service. I use a Harbor Freight roller tumbler with stainless steel Jewlers cleaning media with a few drops of non sudsing cleaner in water. Run them for 2 days and rinse out the dirty water and repeat the process again. Coins come out clean and are returned to circulation. One of the big contributors to the filth is the black filthy grease Loomis uses to lubricate their coin rolling machines. I don't think they ever clean their machines but just keep pumping more grease into them. I watch all your videos and enjoy your knowledge very much. I search between two and three thousand dollars of coins a week. mainly quarters and halves.

[@TheShmeebitdog]

It does get the tarnish off but it also looks like it dose leave a residue that clearly makes the coin look cleaned

[@DragonSales]

Cleaning often puts abrasions all over the coin you see them real well with a microscope. So if you are going to clean dont use something abrasives. Also, for most serious collectors it is the natural aging, patina, toning that "increases" a coins value so wiping that away is considered a big no no. On some coins you would be talking thousands of dollars. For a 52 washington quarter prolly no big deal. Alot of serious collectors would never think of buying a cleaned coin so just keep that in mind if you have a holy grail coin and not a run of the mill. Good luck everyone

[@ryanlansteen7444]

Thank you Rob. I’m going to give it a shot on my old coins.

[@satperush]

I heard a trick that you squeeze your fingers on your nose and then rub the coin gently. The natural oils from you skin/nose will leave a thin layer of skin oil and make it the coin look way less cleaned/dull. The oil from hands and skin are considered natural since circulated coins are handled by 1000's of hands with oils.

[@ncprospectors]

Interesting....I ordered some copper rounds and they gave me a buffalo nickel. Of course it was slick so I decided to buy some nicadate. I tried it for the first time. Worked great. It was a 1919 date. Thanks Rob.

Hey rob my grandma had some mr metal and it is for silver etc and so i used it on a silver pendent and it took all the gunk away and it made a mirror finish

[@roybaker3945]

Rob, I understand what you are doing and don't fault you at all. To me eye appeal means a lot. I do the same thing except I take it a bit farther. I'll get super common coins, 1921 Morgans 1922 Peace dollars, and other commons coins as well and polish the crap out of them with a Dremel. Most take over an hour but the results are incredible. I've been scolded for ruining history, I just see it as looking at a work of art in the best way possible. I have sold some of these, but I always state in big letters... "This Coin Has Been Heavily Polished and Cleaned". I would never do this to any coin of a rarer nature, I just want to let people see the beauty of the coin design. And ya, eye appeal helps when someone just wants an affordable book filler..... And I hate to say it, with some of the more stubborn naysayers, I have brought up the fact that, these are my coins and I will do what I wish with them. (Not often!!) LOL I really am rather laid back..... Love the vids man!! Always look forward to them!

Acetone works for me.

[@hapnation6031]

Wow that 53 may have been a proof!

[@larrywardlow2777]

If your going to clean a CIRCULATED coin, You might as well do it right. You scrub that thing down with baking soda. And after you clean it, you have to leave it alone for about 10 years for it to tone back up in a controlled environment. After the coin retones in about 10 years, you wont be able to tell its a cleaned coin. Trust me, I know. about 20 years ago when i was a teenager with a metal detector, i used to clean up every silver coin i dug up. When i was a kid, i wanted these coins to be extremely shiny so i cleaned them up with baking soda. These coins look amazing now. The toning is even and because they are circulated coins, they already have millions of micro scratches anyway, so its impossible to tell that they were cleaned over 20 years ago LOL

[@minutemark]

Can you actually scratch a coin with a q-tip, or does Mohs Law apply? I wonder what would happen if you soaked the coins in the MS-70 inside an ultrasonic vibratory cleaner (like the one at Harbor Frieght).

[@pinkbadger9]

Q-tips can loosen some of the small metal particles on the coin, and rubbing them around will create the hairline scratches that you typically see on cleaned coins.

[@echosierra9450]

Yes. Have you noticed that while searching coins that your fingers turn black? (which is why Rob wears gloves on some of these hunts) The black stuff isn't just dirt. It's mostly metal particles from coin counting machines, coin rolling machines, coins hitting each other in pockets or bags, etc. All coins intended for circulation have the "dirt" on them even if you can't see it since they were bagged or rolled at some point, which may get dragged around by a wet q-tip, although grading companies use a loupe and not a microscope, so they may or may not see it. However, what they can see, is the pattern of dirt. As you can see in Rob's video here, the dirt that doesn't get removed gets distributed around the coin in neat dots, and coins in some crevices (such as on the top of the rim) may not be easily removed, making it obvious that the coin was cleaned even if there are no scratches. An ultrasonic cleaner is an interesting idea, but it would require you to be able to suspend the coin somehow, because it would simply vibrate the coin on the surface of whatever container it is sitting on. After doing some reading of accounts from people who have tried it, it's no more effective than soap and water under a running tap.

[@don951]

As the video stated... this is only a demonstration. Normally, you would ensure all particles and debris are removed prior to ever touching the coin with a q-tip. A simple acetone or rubbing alcohol soak without touching the coin at all - should be your first step. Sometimes that is all that is needed for adhesives and other icky stuff on the coin. Also, you will either need to rinse with distilled water or have another cup with more acetone or alcohol ready to go. As you will certainly contaminate the first batch. A 3 cup setup works the best. The q-tip is really a last resort. For MS quality silver coins dipping with Ezest is the preferred method. You never want to touch the coin if possible.

[@leewomack3498]

I just wish I knew what they charge for grading coins. Is it the cost for one coun or can you send in multiple coins for a single price or would they charge for each individual coins? I have multiple original steel pennies and one day I was at the store and in the change I received there were bright new steel pennies that seemed somewhat uncirculated. I've collected coins since I was four years old, I am now 73, and being that I lived in England and France and traveled to other European countries, I also have that and a lot of American coins too. I know nothing about cleaning, grading, or anything else..... I just collected them. 🙂 Any suggestions or answers?? Thanks

What about a distilled water steamer, like jewelers have? No scrubbing or chemicals.

[@joeramirez709]

Most definitely improved the appearance of the coin. But at what cost? Every time you remove a layer of grime you remove a layer of value. Cleaning might be best left for the professional. Unless it's for your own personal enjoyment and have no intention of selling the coin. In the final analysis, the coin will be devalued.

[@MrThe1234guy]

The coin has to be valuable to remove the value. To the average collector they would probably bid more . When NGC cleans a coin they call it conservation. If you clean a worn coin usually they look worse. I would only clean XF /AU and they look right.

[@jameycollins725]

Great video Rob! Glad you showed us what this product can do. Anybody that says they would not clean dogshit off their coins is a total hypocrite-lmfao! Junk silver coins that have little spots of dirt and grime (not toning which I always love toning) can benefit from this product. I personally always pass on the cleaned junk silver coins. However, any local coin store will by junk silver coins and give you the same amount per $1 dollar face no matter if they have been cleaned or not. Also, it looks like this product ( if used quickly and correctly with a soft q-tip) will not remove any layer of the coin and probably the coin grader companies would never know. I would definitely and probably 100% percent of everybody else would use this on a high end coin if it had just a small spot of dirt/grime that could easily be removed by using this product.

After 3 days, rinse and dry. I then search for key dates, coins. Once I’ve separated the semi numismatics from the true “junk”, I do another round of cleaning with baking soda for the worst coins, and I may even dip in e zest. I like clean shiny coins. I generally sell the key dates and buy my next $1000 face bag.

Maybe try soaking the coins in MS70 using an ultrasonic cleaner. That has a good chance of removing the grime in the coin’s nooks without minor scratches.

[@coyotewacker]

Hi Rob ,, In your opinion, Are the cotton fibers on the QTip really capable of scratching any coin ??

[@RobFindsTreasure]

I don't believe so but if you press firmly, then perhaps the shaft (or stick) of the qTip could.

[@captainsergeant]

I'd imagine it wouldn't be the QTip so much as the gunk on the coin that could cause scratches. I am, however, not an expert on such things.

[@franklinmartin8103]

You are correct, the gunk that piles up on one side of the Q-tip could do minor scratches, but only under pressure. A light hand touch and rolling the Q-tip until the Q-tip surface has loaded up with gunk, then replace Q-tip with clean one. So you use a few Q-tips on each dirty coin but this method of changing Q-tips and a light touch will keep any minor surface scratches to a bare minimum. Met-Chem.
