I hope you don't use that same toothbrush for yourself afterwards, or get them mixed up...:brush-teeth::scratch:
Way of cleaning: I don't Results: Pretty good How to do it: Admire the coin, and then admire it some more How long it takes: Surprisingly, not long at all
use an artists brush to lightly whisk dirt away rinse in cold water pat dry no paper towels that's for dirt crusty coins I hve done it yet but would use olive oil for a couple of days and use a tooth pick to much pressure will damage coin... pc film I heard use acetone it works well I have heard, use cotton tip swap but never done it
My mother told me one time she couldn't see the date on a coin and she rubbed it with aluminum foil and was able to see that it was a 1919 cent.
A belt sander and 80 grit sandpaper. ( A strong vice is also recommended.) It takes about one minute and the results are amazing! Not one trace of dirt or grime remains. The same results are guaranteed, regardless if you are a pro or if it's your first try at it.
no winners, not enough contestants. I mainly created this thread for education purposes. if anyone its saltysam.
Lol. I guess i'll give a real answer since nobody else did. I just use water and wait a few months. I place a coin in the water and once every 2 weeks scrub it with a toothbrush. I think it's working but i cant exactly tell since i'm still in the process (it's been 3.5 months so far).
