These wire brushes will also get your coins nice and shiny, especially if you also use a mix of salt and vinegar.

Don't forget to put some baking soda straight on the coin the more grainy the better

Ok all jokes aside, what is the best way to clean a coin that won't damage it. Not to sure about E zest. How about some hot water n dish soap will it cause damage

Scooby- All jokes aside there's an entire generation that like that baking soda look.

Tons of the old school collectors.

I was told by an older gentleman never to clean a coin with baking soda or anything that it takes away from the value

Personally, if acetone doesn't take it off, it stays.
