Are you a coin collector? Then I am sure you have come across old, sometimes even grimy coins. To many collectors, that certainly wouldn’t do for your collection, especially if you buy morgan silver dollars
A note of caution, be reminded of the first cardinal rule of coin cleaning:
The first rule of coin cleaning is: If you don’t know its value, don’t clean it, or if you think it is valuable, don’t clean it, or if you know it is valuable, don’t clean it. In other words, do not clean your discovered coins; leave them untouched and stored in proper holders. The reason for this is that coin dealers and collectors are interested in purchasing coins in their original condition and natural state of preservation.
But! If you are still decided on cleaning the dirt off your coins, I have some very easy tricks.
Get the Dirt Off Your Old Coins
Mix together some baking soda, vinegar and lemon juice until the mixture reaches a pasty consistency. Rub this paste vigorously on the surface of the coin.
If the dirt is stubborn and still stuck on the coin, get half a cup of vinegar and pour it in an aluminum-lined bowl. Soak the coin in the vinegar overnight. The next day, repeat the process of rubbing the paste on the coin. This time, it would be much easier to remove the dirt as it had already been softened when the coin was soaked in vinegar.
Happy coin-collecting!
