I don't know if anyone has posted this here, but use a lemon dipped in salt, then rub it on the coin. Cooks use it to clean pots, so it must work for coins.

How does this compare to using a commercially-available cleaner such as Tarn-X?

Why clean them, Six? (Just curious...I like the contrast of dark copper vs. silver.)

Something sweet about shiny coppers. Don't know what? I guess the dulled ones would make things like Han Ping Chen easier, but the shiny coppers just "feel" right.

I used to like my coppers to shine like new too. Something about the way they shined it was more like a glimmer. I still prefer my silver bright and shiny like they just came off the mint. I let my coppers get dull but I have a hard time getting them to all look the same dullness.
I don't like tarn-x. When the copper tarnishes naturally it doesn't look the same after you've used tarn-x. Craig |

My friends that are police ocifers(er officers) will appreciate the tip.
Sorry couldn't resist. Actually dull ones contrast my Liberty and Morgans in order to make it easier on my spectators. Harris

Ya... tell them Coppers to stay away from that Tarn-X stuff... I heard it's laced with some bad stuff. Harris.... that is really funny man.

I normally just use brasso on my irish penny to shine it up. By the way Harris, are you going to the lee asher lecture on march 2nd at US Toy Magic shop.

Brasso is bad for coins. Yes it cleans them, but it's abrasive so they end up with thousands of tiny scratches so you can never get the minted type shiny finish again.

Distilled Vinegar with a little bit of salt in a glass. Put the copper coins in. Take them put, rinse them off real good and dry them. Works pretty well.

Hey Corey,
I have not made up my mind yet. Maybe someday we can get together and do some coin jaming. We have some awesome coin workers in the KC area. U.S. Toys are going to be teaming up with Ring 129 for some great lectures this year. Be safe,well and creative Harris

I've come to realise, dirty coins tend to be much softer... that true for you guys as well?
