SILVER AND GOLD BULLION GETS CLEANED! Does My Dealer Think I'm CRAZY?!

In this video my bullion dealer weighs in on cleaning gold and silver coins and bullion. Should you remove the tarnish on silver? Does toning really come off with a dip? Do copper red spots come off gold? What about "milk spots" on silver? The answers may surprise you! Watch as I discuss with Tim Marschner of The Coin and Stamp Shop whether one should clean various gold and silver coins and bullion. And then witness the results of cleaning precious metals with E-Z-Est! Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

I honestly think it all looked better before it was dipped… After being dipped it had a chemical crystalline look to it. If that makes “cents” lol. Thanks for being the guinea for me on this one Yankee! I have a bunch of 2020 Libertad’s all denominations of that year. All my 1oz’s are starting to get that same black oxidation ring around the reed of the coin’s too.

Back in the 70's and 80's I remember my dad and I cleaning nearly every coin we bought. Looking back, I wish we hadn't done that. I don't have any of those coins anymore. Nowadays, I don't clean any coins, and I won't buy a cleaned coin.

@americanpatriot6918 22 дня назад

When you line a bowl, or some other container that will hold water with aluminum foil, shinny side up. Then you sprinkle baking soda directly on top of the aluminum foil, then you put the coins you want cleaned on top of that. Then you add more baking soda on top of the coins. After that you boil water, and add the boiling water into the bowl lined with aluminum foil and baking soda surrounding your coins. It works every time! Just only use soft tissues to remove the excess baking soda, don't scrub the coins. And it will leave your coins you want cleaned shinny and bring out the luster. It works much better than this stuff. Don't clean numismatic coins. Only bullion, common stuff, or anything else that's only worth melt anyways.👍

@healthywealthywise 21 день назад

Same here. If I may add: •I use distilled water rather than tap water. •I also use 2 glass containers in addition to the baking soda, foil and distilled water. One glass with distilled H20 as a first “rinse”. Then then the second container as a final rinse through. Air dry on a cotton towel and they look Fantastic!

@iamgabriel5823 22 дня назад

I have destroyed copper coins by using E-Z-Est. I'm glad you're wearing gloves -- I learned that lesson the hard way. I let my coins soak in clean water for about 15 minutes after then run water over them (not well water). Failure to rinse adequately will result in awful black spots. I watched a video where a guy cracked out his graded coins, dipped them, then sent them back for grading. None of them came back as cleaned and a couple of them were graded a notch higher. I have dipped a lot of my coins. If you blast-white a well-circulated coin it will look a little weird -- just a matter of one's personal preference. I've never dipped any of the gold coins. Cautionary note -- the product will etch a stainless-steel sink.

@MrBluegrassfiddler 8 дней назад

Not for copper. Only for silver and gold.

@bwb207 22 дня назад

I don't know from personal experience, but I've read articles where acetone was used to remove milk spots. Those two pieces you had were more like a milk mess than milk spots. Give the acetone a try; you've got nothin' to lose with those two items.

@edb3877 22 дня назад

Acetone is a good solvent for many things but should be used very carefully. It's incredibly flammable and easily forms explosive mixtures with air that can be set off via a static electric spark. See the online MSDS for info on this before using.

@joshspeed7794 22 дня назад

I personally prefer cleaning junk silver with baking soda and hot water in an aluminum pie tin. It can clean almost any level of gunk. I get the whole circulated look thing, but sometimes the filth is overwhelmingly disgusting and the coin may even be more trusted for barter by newbs if cleaned to look like gleaming silver again.

@pierretalbot 21 день назад

Very interesting video about what is okay and not okay to clean. Although, it kind of looked like it made the milk spotting seem to become worse. The rest of the coins, bars came out much better looking for sure. Thanks for making this video with Tim's advice!

Is it just me but did "cleaning" these make every single one look worse.. lost the details and even the shine...

I agree. Some of them still had some of their original "mint luster" which they lost once they were cleaned. They looked "dull" to me after they were cleaned.

@tswoshman0016 19 дней назад

Put aluminium foil into a bowl. Lay the silvercoins you want to clean on top of the aluminium foil. Make a hot salt water solution with as much salt as possible. Poor the hot salt water into the bowl with the coins and the foil. Wait untill the water turned cold. Change the aluminium foil and reheat the saltwater to repeat the process until the coins are clean. Just flip em if you repeat it, because it didn´t clean enought. That takes a while but, it will become as clean as new ! Because this is reoxidizing the silver sulfate on the coin. While the coins are in the solution you can smell the sulferdioxide comming off ! You also can see small bubbles forming on the surface of the coins. That´s the best way to make Silver clean again !!! Good luck !

@jsigmo 19 дней назад

If you can set your camera to use a fixed color balance, it will allow the gold coins to look gold even when the coin fills the frame. Even better is to shoot in RAW mode (if your camera has that) and then include a white card in a frame under the same lighting, and then when you convert the RAWs, use a "click white balance", using that "Click White Balance" value for all of the frames. When you showed the whole set of coins on the blue background, the color balance seemed fine (auto WB, I'm sure, got it close to right). But when you showed the close-ups of the gold coin, it came out looking silver because the auto white balance makes the assumption that the main subject in the frame should be white. This is where some manual control can really make things look correct. I've shot events where the lighting was quite variable and/or had mixed lighting, and a sneaky trick is to make up white name cards for the attendees to wear. Then shoot in RAW, and when processing the RAW files, just do a "click white balance" on each person's name card, and that corrects for the mixed or variable lighting with almost no effort. Since your light source was likely the same for all of your shots, you only need to shoot one frame with the white card, and then you can store and re-use that same "click white balance" for all of the shots, and everything will be corrected properly AND with exactly the same white balance. Camera nerd stuff. Sorry.

@TomokosEnterprize 20 дней назад

HowdieMy Friends. I have used "Shine Brite" from PMC that works well and comes gallon size. Even cast pieces don't tone as fast they still need a dip and dry on occasion. Still, the best bet is keep them Dry with a dessicant present and you have No, Nada for toning or snow storms eh. I use the ezest container with my Shine Brite container for the basket. Shine Brite in a sonic washer gives even a better job yet. Its always a good day when you fellas get together old friend. ONWARD EH !
