Coin Cleaning Recomendations Request

Before too long someone will come on and tell you NEVERNEVERNEVER clean your coins. Don't rub 'em, scratch 'em or scrape 'em. Wear only lint-free 300-thread count white Egyptian cotton gloves when handling your coins. ETC, etc etc. blah, blah, blah. But they are your coins and if you want to experiment then go ahead. Try one or more of the products listed after reading the instructions and let us know how it went. Good luck!

Do NOT use E-Z-Est or MS70 on copper! They work fine on silver.

I haven't used the other 2 you mentioned but have used Linder's Coin CLeaner (for all metals), Goo Gone (all metals), acetone (copper), and Coin Care (copper).

I sometimes put a few coins in an ultrasonic cleaner with a plastic basket and add Linder's or Goo Gone then run it for 5-10 minutes. Make sure the coins don't touch each other or any metal surface (only the plastic basket).

I've used toothpicks and Q-Tips to GENTLY remove fine pieces of debris. Never rub just tease the contaminant.

Always rinse the coins with water and pat dry when finished.

Practice on low value common date coins first and find out what works best.

I never clean any of my coins but if you feel the need to experiment I would do it on a high mintage low grade coin.In the 70's Ive seen some real nice toned Morgans get ruined by dipping because the collectors all wanted shiny silver it was a crime.
