cleaner for silver and clad coins

1907Quarter · March 17, 2004 8:41PM

I guess the humidity level in my house is a tad high. Got some funky toning on my moderns and would like to remove it. What do people use to wash this off and more importantly, what's the technique not to damage the coin? Where is the cleaner available?

Try MS70 - it works well taking off hazy toning. Just put it on a Q-tip genty wipe the coin with it (without applying pressure) then rinse and pat dry.

If you use MS70 your coins will shine and any marks will look like stars twinkling in the sky.

Toning on clads can be a good thing

Speed Dip 100% with a soda water 1 tablespoon with 2 cups of water. A quick dip in speed RINSE for 30 seconds Dip in soda Rinse and dip in soda again and RINSE RINSE RINSE Dry with a soft paper towel. Don't forget the edges.
Or send me your coins (no copper) and I can do this for $3.00 per coin (you pay shipping to and fro). This will not take off white spots.

MS70 works good.......

after patting dry, should I hit each side with a blast of compressed air?

MS70 on a Q-tip
Roll the Q-tip back and forth on the coin. Don't scrub!
Rinse with plenty warm tap water.
Finish with a quick bath in isopropyl alcohol.
Air dry on a cloth.
Place in a "safe" holder.

Simple, right?

MS70 will do the trick. I'd be careful about using compressed air. Are you talking the kind in the can?

I dry coins with a hair dryer on cold air.

1907Quarter · March 18, 2004 10:28AM

yes, I a;so have a bolus if necessary!

1907Quarter · March 28, 2004 11:07PM

worked like a charm!

oh, and Frank, those toners of yours are superb, believe me they didn't tone like that! More like a hazy milky type of oxidation, all gone!
