<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 1352655, member: 34882&quot;]If you really want to clean them boil some water and while it&#039;s boiling put some baking soda in a bowl. Cut up some aluminum foil into small strips and also put them in the bowl. Pour the boiling water in the bowl, mix it up and then add a piece of foil that is roughly the bowl&#039;s bottom size and put in the coins making sure they are touching the foil. Just leave the coins in the bowl for five minutes or so then remove and rinse while gently rubbing them with your fingers to clean. If the coins have no value other than melt value which is their silver content value and are really dirty sometimes I&#039;ll use some baking soda on them and rub between fingers which will make them shine but would destroy any numismatic value. I don&#039;t clean any valuable numismatic coins this way but I do clean junk silver that&#039;s only worth melt anyways as my two daughters 5 &amp; 3 like to help and find putting &#039;shiny&#039; coins in their books much better than old dirty ones. Until their old enough to understand why we don&#039;t clean some coins I find sparking their interest in collecting far outweighs cleaning junk silver that has no value over melt anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
