What To Use When Polishing a Coin?

[Z815]

What are you suppose to use when polishing a coin, for a collection?

Doing anything to improve the appearance of a collectible coin will severely harm the value.

If you want it to look mint without messing around with a bunch of oils and chemicals, use ketchup. It removes all sorts of grime without leaving residue when rinsed. Test on a dirty penny if you want evidence without using your collectible coin as a guinea pig.

 

[John Darmanin]

NEVER polish a coin. It will destroy the value.
