How to Get Stain Off Coins

Cleaning coins can make them more shiny. Although this will not necessarily make them more valuable because it wears down the coin, it can make the coin more pleasing to the eye. If you have a coin that is not too valuable and you would like to remove a stain from it, then you can accomplish this using common household products.

Instructions

    • 1

      Handle the coin by the edges to avoid transferring damaging oils from your fingers to the coin face.

    • 2

      Hold the coin under a stream of running warm water for about a minute. It works better if the water is slightly pressurized.

    • 3

      Soak the coins in hot soapy water until the stains disappear. This can be anything from a few hours to a few weeks. Wash the coin in denatured alcohol.

    • 4

      Soak the coins in a cup of white vinegar or cola for a few minutes. This can remove tougher stains. Note that cola will leave a sticky residue on the coin. Wash the coin in denatured alcohol.

    • 5

      Apply toothpaste to the coin and rub it in with a toothbrush to access the various nooks in the coin.

    • 6

      Rinse the coin in warm water. Pat the coin dry with a cloth. Use a toothpick to remove any dirt still left on the coin.
