Best Answer

You will never restore a coin to mint condition. Any cleaning process will remove small amounts of metal and introduce new scratches and marks on the coin.

If the coin has any collector value to start with, it will have none after cleaning.

The short and simple answer is "DO NOT CLEAN YOUR COINS" as will be advised in most coin catalogues.

If you must clean a very dirty gold or silver coin, use distilled water and a gentle non-perfumed soap. Never wash a copper coin.

If the coin has no particular value and you would just like to make it look nice, clean it in anything you like, such as a jewellery cleaning agent which are usually based on a not too savage acid such as phosphoric acid.
