If I have a VERY black copper coin, I also clean it a little.
I use an inox-cleaner, just some 'thing' on the coin, rub it in, and then wash it with clean water.
I don't know if that inox-cleaner is that good for my coins, but I like the shiny result a lot more than the black ugly coins
And so far they didn't really change color.
They look almost as UNC coins now, except a few scars...

You're probably right. Actually I think I have heard of that before. I just wanted to clean my first French 2c coin to take a look how it "really" looked, compared with other coins, but not to collect it (I was sure to get more of them in the future). I hope austroboy hasn't used my method on his hundreds of coins...Craft wrote: Aargh, sounds very bad
Used coins are used coins and should look like used coins.
There's also this cleaning powder for scrubbing steal sinks or pots with steal wool... But maybe applied on a coin that would scrub the relief awayTiger wrote: I use an inox-cleaner, just some 'thing' on the coin, rub it in, and then wash it with clean water.
