Polishing coins

[IllusiveCoinMan]

What things can you find around your home to polish coins? Jay Sankey says a little cod liver oil and some garlic, but considering his sense of humor, I don't know if he was serious or not.

I think potatoes will do a great job.
cut them in half and rub the coins with the "wet" side

Depending on the year, and type of coin I can possibly help. Baking soda and water with an old toothbrush will work. But I typically don't recommend polishing coins. If the coins are silver Tarn-X is best.

Toothpaste. I use my fingers, toothpaste, water, and some soap and that gets the job done fine. You can use a toothbrush if you want though.

Completely agree, there is also a product called wrights silver polish that is mainly used by horse riders to polish they're silver, works very well.

If you go into the Jewelry store, their are these rags you can buy, that do the best job! They are actually made to polish Silver Jewelry!
