at least it was a cheap coin. this video should be taken down after today. there are new collectors out there that might do that to a very nice old coin and think shiny is better. Do not clean your coins period.
The tarnished trumpet line is pretty hilarious... but I do agree that this video could be a little dangerous... DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! Maybe they're trying to see how many people will call in with shock and horror?
It's been a while since a video has offended me as much as that one. I cringe to think of the people that will take it as real advice. Just like the occasional time I have a collection come all dripping wet in a zip lock because the person wanted to make sure they were nice and clean before they brought them to me to buy...assuming they were adding value to their coins.
Hey, nothing wrong with Brasso. It's only three ha'pence a tin. <Singing> My father's a lavatory cleaner, He works all the day and the night, And when he comes in the evening, He's covered all over in...
