How is it that they don't get scratched?

I do this too. I love the way it trickles through my fingers. I understand the pleasure Scrooge McDuck got from swimming in his money bin. 😂. I’ve been using a vibratory tumbler and they look and feel beautiful. I make jewelry with some of it and I always look them over first for numismatic value. I suspect I’m not the first person to have a look at them.

Wow very nice collection coins ❤❤❤🙏🙏

You should do this again. It's been quite a few years. xD

AND NOW SEND THOSE IN FOR GRADING AND SEE WHAT YOU GET LOL

I really appreciated the final zoomed analysis at the end. It clearly showcases how this technique employs minimal damage to the coins. I support both viewpoints when it comes to cleaning Constitutional silver (i.e., cleaners and purists), but if you're going to use a cleaning method this is easily one of the BEST I've seen online to date. Cheers!

i works for me, It is junk..

NICE!!!

Hi Tim. I was wondering what size of stainless steel shot you use?

Just put baking soda an lime juice and done. They sparckle very nice.

very informative

great job!

It's just junk silver it doesn't hurt the price, But they're hard to stack they fall all over the place very slippery

I rather peel all of my nails than do what he did

Awesome, gonna search for some stainless steel shot and have a go.

When I first saw he was using SS shot I was horrified. However after the cleaning I was absolutely blown away. This is how I want my junk silver to look. It’s a way of bringing back to life manky old coins that are of actual value. When I get back to the US I’ll be buying more 40 and 90 coins and cleaning them this way. Thanks brother from Andy in the UK.

I did this to some 90% Franklins, doesn't LOWER Value on 90%, and I just did a Roll! They Look Like the Video!

Beautiful

I clean everything, because it’s MINE. I paid for it so I will do what ever the hell I want with it. 50 years of sweat and skin grease YUK. clean EM up good.

How to clean junk: You don’t

I hate you.

did you ever try to smooth out a worn silver bar with a few dings in it using this method? I was sold a "NEW" bar that turned out to be real silver but looks like somebody dropped it on hard asphalt a couple times. Silver is silver but i was looking for a way to minimize the dings.

Looks fantastic Tim! Great job! Thank you!

This roller machines are designed to decrease the value of these coins

Holy crap "junk" silver is gorgeous

How can you call this junk?

Dirtiness and stickiness are different from patina ! Just wash your coins with water and soap and it will be done 😉 3:25 Poor little Walker😥

If ifs just worth melt. Why not

Hey dude, wanna see how to really clean old coins the easiest way? check it out , i'm sure you'd be surprised haha czcams.com/video/254x_MqpXpg/video.html

I just read all the comments and not one logical reason to not do this. Personally I dont , my time is better used in other areas of coin collecting.

Probably the only video on CZcams I find satisfying and horrifying at the same time!

Talk about "mint state" shine.

On one hand it isn't good to clean coins but on the other they look beautiful

Beginning of the video = coins End of the video = looks like tokens

😡

You should try the TarnX in the Rock tumbler ...LOL.. Just saying.... :P Man you got some beautiful coins for sure I bet the kids or grand kids love them. I love showing my silver off to the kids and grandkids. Since I am only concerned with melt value on most of them I love it...:)

I love the beauty but kinda like silversurfer49, I not sure if I am delighted or distraught LOL Just kidding, wishing to myself I had that much silver shiny in a box! probably more jealous :P LOL

I actually prefer my constitutional junk silver toned. The more toned the better. I have a roll of 90% percent silver Washington quarters that all have major grease and grime on the outside. I want to keep the toning for sure, but want to get the grime and grease off the outside. I'll probably just use hot water and Dawn dish soap and lightly use my fingers (in the water) to get it off-no scratching and the toning should all still be there.

Be genteel

Aaa don't skrah them

Wow a part 2... So dumb.

Wow what a shame, at least 55 years of history washed off!

If it ever came down to bartering with junk silver, its better if they actually look like silver to the uneducated. There was a small amount of silver lost in this process... but its probably something like 0.010 grams out of however many pounds he added in there. Who cares? Even if silver was worth $1000 an ounce... that 0.010 grams is only worth 30 cents. Think people, before you cry about all the silver that went down the drain

Never ever clean any coins for any reason. Simply because you can do it does not mean it is not STUPID to do.

Very interesting

If you want shiny coins go for it. If they are only worth their mental content it doesn't really matter. But most collectors like to see the age on coins it tells a story of what a coin has been thru in it's life. I'm one of those people but to each his own I guess. They do look pretty cool all shiny tho

Who made up that dumb rule to never clean numismatic coins? Or any silver at all...? Seems such a rule was a joke on the gullible. Silver is one of the most gorgeous metals... and the most reflective. Why would anyone not want to experience that amazing quality? You paid plenty for it... Enjoy the sh¡t out of it if you damn please...

May I suggest, Tim, that you buy a simple drain strainer/catch at the dollar store. Seems you could afford it.
