Ryan coin guy New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 05/22/2018 12:08 pm I know it would probably be cheaper or at least easier to go buy a new one but I'm a little tight on cash. I just bought about $10 face value of quarters for a little less than 10 times face, some of which are in xf-high au condition. I have one of the plastic quarter containers but it's full of black tarnish, I'm just looking for a good way to clean it up since none of these new coins have hardly any tarnish, at least not badly tarnished. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, dish soap, hot water and a tooth brush isn't cutting it. You can even see the rivets from the old coins through the plastic. Thanks for reading, every google search has just talked about cleaning silver jewelry or flatware. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 05/22/2018 12:54 pm Sounds like OP has a plastic coin tube that's a little "cruddy" & can see the lines from the reeding on the plastic from previous coins? Stop by a bank & get a free quarter wrapper or two until a "fresh" coin tube can be acquired is my suggestion. Residual from anything harsher than soap & water will do more harm than good.

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 05/22/2018 2:20 pm I'm with ratman's idea. Stop by your bank and I'm sure they'd give you a couple of wrappers to tide you over until funds permit. If there is tarnish in the old tube I wouldn't be comfortable putting anything in it personally.
