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.

There’s even a story: a sad loan officer (Alison Lohman) turns down the aforemention… |
