What’s a good way to clean old coins?
Is there a good way to clean old coins (mostly silver and copper) using simple stuff found around the house?
In general it decreases the value of a coin with little wear,if it is cleaned because the cleaning leaves abrasion marks and unnaturally discolors the coins. That being said, I just use soap and water and scrub lightly if there is a lot of dirt or green guck from damp storage. I carefully scrape off some types of chucks of corrosion with a sharp steel blade. WD-40 works well on steel coins and does okay on copper. Soaking in olive oil is a good cleaner for ancient copper coins that have been buried in the ground for a long time. A brass brush works well on Chinese Cash. (I tape my fingers with electric tape so that I don’t hurt the hand holding the coin.) A pencil eraser is best for cleaning zinc and aluminum coins.

Hannah Montana $2.74 If the 9-year-old in your life hasn’t alerted you already, consider this your heads up: Not since Hilary Duff has Disney delivered the masses a tween sensation as hot as the double-life-leading Miss Hannah Montana. More important for speaker-blowing second- to seventh-graders and the parents forced to buy them CDs, though, no small-screen sensation transcends the tube more convincingly. Part party… |

Seal $7.98 A far deeper, more enduring outing than his spectacular 1991 debut. Producer Trevor Horn calls on a cast of dozens (including Joni Mitchell who duets on the lovely “If I Could” and the ubiquitous Jeff Beck) and channels his famous, over-the-top tendencies into a sumptious bed of sound that makes Tears for Fears sound minimal. Soulful first single “Prayer for the Dying” will set the pace, while “Ki… |

Drag Me to Hell (Unrated Director’s Cut) $4.88 Touted as a return to Sam Raimi’s horror-movie roots, Drag Me to Hell is indeed closer in spirit to the director’s Evil Dead pictures than to his Spider-Man films. You got your gypsy gargoyles with rotted dentures, your upchucking corpses, your flexible two-way orifices–yes, Raimi’s definitely back in the saddle. There’s even a story: a sad loan officer (Alison Lohman) turns down the aforemention… |

Three Coins In the Fountain $7.02 Velvety and glazed like a fattening pastry, this 1954 love story concerns three American women who make wishes for love in Rome, and end up having three romances. The cast is fine, but as for the film, what you see is what you get. There’s no mystery to any part of this movie–like everything director Jean Negulesco made once CinemaScope entered his life (e.g., How to Marry a Millionaire, A Certai… |
