Yo Rocko! I just started coin collecting, like 4 days ago, sry for my noobness. You prefaced this video something like “The definitive video to answer finally answer the question, should you clean your coins or not… .” I agree 100%, . To me, I figured out the answer about half way through. I need to develop my coin restoration skills to the max. You see, 4 days ago I didn’t know what a proofs were or what uncirculated meant, but I pretty sure I do now. Look, let me try to put this in perspective. I get the same impression from you in this video and other big-time coin collectors. You guys are spending 10,000 a year if not more just on getting coins graded let alone buying and selling coins you have all the ins and outs And access to all the best coins. All the uncirculated proof coin sets you have so many of them you can even sacrifice 15 coins to this video. It’s not much of a risk if all you gotta do is make 15 coins that look totally brand new and keep them looking brand by going through the motions of washing a dirty coin. Hell, one of the procedures MS 70 is specifically designed for the coin industry and seems to be accepted as a staple from all the old timers , with a simple 3-4 step process should always work if followed perfectly, you would think. Even made the pennies look brand new again. Anyways, I get the impression that when you guys go to send in a batch of cards to get graded, you’ve already went through probably twice as many coins to make that batch. I don’t know I’m gonna look up more videos but if you’re worried about your coins, getting crappy grades, houses even possible for anything that’s been rattling around in a pocket all day have a chance at getting a MS grade even a low one.

You don't drop coins in especially if you have dipped a few coins already as the sediment on the bottom as well as your fishing around can harm the coin. There is a drop well to put the coin on and just submerge or even a plastic tongs. Also never dip different metals in the same jar. Copper will come out real pinkish so best to leave out a few days to get back some color.
@rockysramblings Жыл бұрын
Others were telling me to use the basket but I had no basket included. I didn’t mean to drop the first one. 😅 good advice on the moving of metals but it didn’t effect my grade surprisingly. I thought for sure I’d get details on it.
@RobertLee-wi5kc Жыл бұрын
You could have saved yourself a lot of money just asking those that have experience. Dipping 1 time other than the fact that it looks too good (no toning) won't get details as under glass you have not affected the finish. I have seen Indian pennies come back non graded because of questionable color. I sent in a barber half dipped but let it tone back a bit before sending it because it was too white for 120 years old. Now if someone is dumb and dips it again it will make the surface etch as it is an acid and will give it a steel dull look. Great content but kinda pricey for cheap proofs just to get a lesser grade company to put in plastic. @@rockysramblings

Thanks for doing the experiment. A properly conserved coin is absolutely allowed and can be graded. An improperly conserved coin will be called cleaned. There is no one best solution as the different metals call for different treatment. Ezest is great for silver, but I wouldn't use in on copper or nickel. Acetone is always safe but is very limited in what it can do. All three are different. Ezest is an acid -- MS70 is an alkaline -- Acetone is neutral. For copper I find Coin Care to be the safest, it is not very aggressive. Looking forward to the results. Cheers!

Seems to me the acetone does some things, and the M 70 does others, why don't you do them in acetone and then in M 70 and you might get the best of both worlds

I used MS70 on modern (gold tone) dollars… turned them dark… almost purple… ruined. Failed experiment.

Scratching and wear are the two major factors in grading shiny is a much less a factor.
@rockysramblings Жыл бұрын
Yes but my purpose for doing the experiment was to see if any scratching could be detected from cleaning them.

Why would anyone clean perfectly preserved coins? They didn't need cleaning at all. And, it doesn't show that if these techniques actually remove tarnish etc.
@rockysramblings Жыл бұрын
It’s a test to see if cleaning them with these cleaners will be detected by the grading company

"Ugly" toning should never mark a coin down in grade. (Exception is MS-70 because thats not allowed any toning.) Good toning could mark up but bad shouldnt knock down. That's a BS opinion influencing something that ought to be objective. Some people find certain toners ugly that I find beautiful.

The subjectivity of grading is an issue imo. I’m not a fan of AI but I can think in coin grading it could be helpful. Take out the human subjectivity.
