[@alinionut7017]

In the video you mentioned, you are saying to use ez cleaner only to remove plastic residues off the coins.

[@MikeSmith-yo9ch]

Great job Daniel . I have done this myself and it doesn't harm the coin at all or cause problems when you have them graded it just gets the coin back to it's original look and surface . This method is what you pay the grading Companies for when you get them to do coin restoration - Conservation . If you know what you are doing you can do the same thing your self instead of paying to have it done .

I have been waiting for a video like this, but you didn't show how to properly restore a coin. I'm the old guy in Florida,( newer collector, ) I have tried MS70 ,and it makes silver coins look brighter as if they have been cleaned. I would like to see you demonstrate the procedure for restoring coins, silver and copper. Thanks for the great informative videos. Old guy in Florida 😎

[@brucejensen3081]

As a card collector and coin collector and note collector its interesting to see what is classed as uncirculated. Many cards pulled from packs are not mint. Notes have to be ridgy didge to be uncirculated. Coins can have severve bag marks, be cleaned and pass as uncirculated. A bit of rubbing can class them as damaged, which sort of means all circulated coins are damaged really. As a card/note collector, those coins arent mint. As a coin collector they are. Have to remember this at times

I’ve been doing it for years. It seems to work out pretty good ......... very good job on the video great information.

[@40belowful]

I was taught by my dealer with MS-70 on cloudy or toned coins including proofs. Gently dip q tip in it and very lightly roll it across coin surface. wash off with water and pat dry on cotton towel. Worked great but don't use this on penny's:) even tho it says you can it makes them a weird color.

[@CoinHELPu]

Never use a q tip it will scratch a proof. Just dip, rinse and blow dry or pat lightly. Just make sure you rinse it off. All of it.

[@leebrewer1190]

I think the title of this vid can be taken two ways. I took it the way I see others did. I thought it meant something to the affect of, "How I restore Peace Dollars with before and after shots." Personally I like to try acetone (polar solvent) first and it cannot react with the metal. After that, if no success, I move to Xylene (non-polar solvent), and finally the ones you mentiuon if the previous ones do not work. And sometimes I use minute amounts of said chemicals on Q-tips instead of subjecting the whole coin surface to the chemical.

[@jumemowery9434]

I bought a Lincoln cent book at auction for about $10. Some of the coins had a tarry substance on them. I soaked them in lacquer thinner and the stuff came right of. The 1918 S and the 24 D were ms 63. Pretty good for $10.

I know this is hard to believe but urine. Soaking your coins in urine will clean them and the grading company's can't detect it. You'll go from MS-60 to MS-62 overnight. Just have to soak in water afterword then dark drying for a week does great

[@COPPERMOUNTAINCOINS.]

Yeah what a RIP, it's okay if you pay PCGS OR NGC to clean a coin but if you do it they kick it back in a body bag. That's one of the reasons people are getting sick of the grading company's and some are even quitting coin collecting. As a collector and dealer it is in are best interest to only do things that will promote the hobby and bring in the younger generations to the hobby.

[@CoinHELPu]

[@Clawbear55]

How much is it to clean coins. And does clean a coin make it more

[@devinjenkins4752]

depends on the coin, costs a % of the END result price. So whatever the coin is worth after its cleaned its like 306% of that price but theres a set min price also if the coin isnt worth much, and yes cleaning certain coins makes them worth more PROFESSIONALLY cleaned coins that is

[@sparkyjones560]

Daniel, I really wish you had stuck with the term "conserving" and not used "cleaning" or "restoring" Cleaning and restoring kind of triggers "renewing" or "rejuvenating" mentally. "Conserving" would be more like stopping bad issues the coin has like PVC contamination or poor environmental toning that leads to more severe damage and kind of triggers the brain into thinking about it as "preserving for the future". When graders use the term "cleaning" they are referring to scrubbing or sanding or rubbing with a caustic or abrasive which is an absolute no-no. 100% agree that conserving coins with environmental/poor storage issues is the right thing to do. Still though some toning is a good thing and making every coin "blast white" is the wrong move. A coin that's 100 years old should look like it's 100 years old, it shouldn't look like it was minted yesterday and automatically triggers my "cleaned" radar. The level you conserved the coins in this video at I feel is completely acceptable and actually makes a "issues" coin presentable and preserved without making it a "problem" coin.

[@CoinHELPu]

It's all the same. I am not playing with words and definitions or worrying about what it makes people think. An original coin is a coin that looks like it just came from the mint. As soon as it begins to react with the environment it's in then it is no longer original. It is now post mint original maybe but it's all oxidation with is non-mint chemical reaction to the coin's surface. I appreciate you comment but this is no different than cleaning grease off your hands to me, it is still cleaning. To me conserving is putting something on the coin to keep it from the chemical reactions inherent with coin alloys. Good comment and gives me more ideas for a video. Thanks!
