The tip for today is never run your coins threw the dishwasher! Please note, I have never done this nor will ever try. I was at my local coin shop and over heard a couple of want-to-be coin collectors telling the dealer that they run their dirty, dingy coins threw the dishwasher with great resultsimage They said " it gets them all nice, pretty and shinny. Hence, the dealer didn't take any if the coins they were offering him.image Cascade and jet dry....what a miximage

    Hes real messed up, everyone knows you need to put it in the washing machine, warm water, Tide cleaning solution, and then tumble dry.

    This is grandma washing her coins. She uses a blowtorch to dry them!

    Nitric acid is my favorite - it imparts a nice, smooth finish.

    Steam cleaning will remove some of that stubborn dirt that won't come off in the dish washer. Stains
    and imbedded dirt will come off with a file, but this is a last resort to get deep down dirt.

    I gotta try this new method. After using Sunlight "Light," I'll be back with my results...image

    Hmmm. I have to wonder if these guys might have read a response I posted to a thread a while back, where I "jokingly" mentioned using the dishwasher as the final phase of cleaning.
    I certainly hope they remembered to use the Cascade for a spot free rinse image

    This thread makes me want to try an experiement?

    I have often left loose change in the washer, and it comes out looking about the same. I think I will find a nice 40's Ms-65 red lincoln and let it go through a wash cycle and see if PCGS grades it?
