I had a popup ad for Antique Coin Polish appear and I have a feeling that some unsuspecting people are going to go nuts when they find out that they ruined their heirlooms. A quick search provided LOTS of videos on the subject. Pitiful.

    @WaterSport... Oh no... they are all over... a massive attack on coins. I am well known for my preference for non-tarnished coins... however, I do not polish or dip or clean my coins. Well, I do dip in acetone when organic substances are present, but that does not affect metals. Cheers, RickO

    That's been popping up in my FB feed a LOT lately. I even shared it to my (mostly non-collector) friends as a PSA with a message about how they should never clean their coins. With all the activity with precious metals, I figure some of them may be contemplating selling off stuff they inherited or accumulated, and I'd hate for them really mess up something good they may have.

    Not really clean unless they’re Brillo clean.

    That's how I did it when I was a kid. BRILLO! And I was very pleased with the results.

    A paste made from baking soda and a little water is the traditional method of polishing coins. If the coin has any value, DON"T DO IT!!!

    Of course that’s just a joke. Never clean a coin.
    Edit, but you know that.
