- Old coins of the 18th-19th century restoration. Cleaning and Preservation old coins.
I found these old coins in the woods. I found some coins at the site of military camps of the First World War, some coins near old roads. Coins of the 18th-19th and early 20th centuries. The coins are in poor condition, needed to be cleaned and preserved to stop corrosion. I removed the corrosion and preserved the coins. I hope you liked my restoration.

I know that under a coin collector perspective, these coins would be worthless but honestly, it's still great work and restoration from your place. Good job man !!
@ubermensch777
Actually they are worth more before the restoration because that’s how coin collectors want them: exactly as found not clean literally exactly as found
@@MeredithHosea-kq5gx Thats not entirely true, coin collectors want coins in good looking condition, the coins before cleaning were basically worthless, they had lots of verdigris, bronze disease, and other non wanted characteristics, the coins after cleaning would make any beginner coin collector proud, while yes if this type of cleaning is done to coins in mint condition, they will destroy the value of the coin, but for coins in such bad condition, it will add some value back to the coins if done correctly.
Well he ruined not to much, those coins are more common in the former Austrian empire. But to see how he used a metal brush hurts my heart a lot...
@@ThisIsHeresy Wait, it was METAL brush?! Now it hurts me too... :(
it makes me emotional to think about the people who made these coins. the people who mined the metal, the people who melted it down and purified it, the people who stamped the designs into them. i wonder if they ever thought someone would treat these items so carefully and with such reverence hundreds of years later. i hope that they can somehow feel the appreciation of the work and know that their efforts are being honored even after all of this time.
I also always think about this.. not to mention how many people held these coins in their hands and for how many people it meant getting food or not for that day. I'm sure many of these coins made a difference for alot of people through time
I too think of this. The history behind these coins and coins in general are so fascinating, The people who used them in day to day lives and what they did to acquire them.
I am a person from a village in India To clean copper brass and bronze metals we use Tamarind water along with Salt which gives you good results of shining. Anyone can try this simple and less cost of cleaning
4 bronze and copper coins it's important to preserve the patina because If you clean with chemicals they will lose the numismatic value. The idea is to not clean them on the way to expose the metal
@@HD-pp5ky Thats so true, as a coin dealer and coin conserver, I make sure to always preserve the patina, but there are some instances where the patina cant be saved, but this is only done to save the coin from a corrosive and dreadful monster called Bronze disease, after I either leave the coins in its bare copper color (not polished) or I re-patina it.
@@vintageavenuerarecoins ... Some people just put their rusty old coins in a jar of Coca Cola.
@@aaronclareyloveshr6918 I know right, then they forget about it for 20 years and when they find it, its nothing but a bunch of verdigri reddened useless jar of junk.
Thank you!
*_I have watched many of this kind videos but honestly this one was more perfect and in detail_*
Чудово!Давно хотіла побачити реставрацію саме монет,дякую
I'm a 'novice' and I learned early on, collectors want the authentic coin. I cleaned mine early on & now regret it but lesson learned 😂
We’ve all done it fella. 😢
Hey that happens to all beginners, even me when I was a young kid I wanted my found coins shiny, until I got older and especially when I became a coin dealer and conserver I made sure to study what is the best way to clean coins without destroying their value, in the end its all about preserving the patina, but he added value back to these coins, by removing the encrusted dirt and the dreadful green stuff called bronze disease that will eat your coins and spread to others like a cancer.
I was like “ok yeah, so good so far… nice long soak in non-corrosive water… ok nice….” And then BAM! Steel brush like you’re cleaning a freaking grill!!!
Either this is a troll video to coin folks or a nerdy ASMR for those folks. Regardless - you got me.

Plastic brush but yea still terrible. Would have been better off doing an acetone soak.
Many years ago, when I was a kid, my mom would have me pass the time by polishing up old pennies. She would always look for old Wheatback pennies (as she called them) and put those aside, and she'd grab some Brasso and I'd just spend all afternoon/evening hours polishing so that they looked brand new again. She also taught me to use toothpaste for nickels, dimes, and quarters. Not the gel toothpaste but the paste variety (like Crest).
You've got a beautiful collection of coins here...I see some British and German currency. I might very well be wrong, but are there Polish coins in there as well? The older Polish Eagle symbol is very unique and I thought I saw a couple in there.
That eagle was austiria hungary coin
You did a good job of destroying your coins then, and there's no such thing as 'very unique'. Something is either Unique, or it isn't!
@@michaellooney1089dude, you did realize that when wheat pennies were in circulation, they weren’t worth anything
Nice old coin restoration.. you are a great boy 💪
great jjob!
This is the reason I am calm even though my older sister treats me differently from the younger kids
Nice ...wow👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow nice coins❤❤🙏🙏🙏
*Excellent Numismatic Restoration Work, CONGRATULATIONS!*
This makes me want to cry.
I love watching this. I have coins I want to clean but from everything I have heard cleaning hurts the value...but seeing an old coin restored is satisfying. Haha. I guess I will practice on American pennies and nickels from the 1990's. haha.
Some coins gain value, some lose value, but most are practically worthless from the getgo. Which coins do you wish to clean?
Only in America!
@@david82633I have a morgan dollar with pitina on it. I have not touched it yet. I know it is not a one of a kind coin.
Weird I would want my coins clean. I see a ton of comments about keeping them as they are but some were soo dirty you could barely make out anything..?
I agree, he added value back to those coins, people are just repeating what they are told without educating themselves on how to properly conserve "clean" coins. even the large grading companies like PGCS and NGC clean coins.
@@vintageavenuerarecoinshe didn’t add any value to these coins. Grading companies do clean coins, but they’ll also give it a “cleaned” distinction which lowers its value. Education does help. 😏
too satisfying. The speed up sound is beautiful
Thar green powder on copper coin is disease of copper like rust on iron. That disease is difficult to remove cause it damages coins so deeply but we can preserve it after cleaning we can keep it in olive oil or some other oil..
good job 👍👍👍
Cleaned coins are worth the metal, that's it. Coin collectors only want "original skin" on their coins. But, they're your coins, do as you want.
Coins that encrusted and dirty are worthless, he added value back to them, and saved them from slowly being eat to dust from the green monster called bronze disease.
@@vintageavenuerarecoins cleaned coins are also worthless to collectors
@ Yes they are, but only if cleaned unproperly, even the largest coin grading houses clean coins, you just have to know how to do them correctly.
We find coins every now and then on our walks , have always done the white vinegar clean up . Might try this , you got great results.
Nice job they look great! For those of us that are NOT collectors and are wondering what the heck you are doing and why you are using certain chemicals, just a brief description of why you are using them would be cool. Example-"vinegar, 16oz. it helps break down the rust and corrosion."
nice ☺️
Great work, a labor of love. I'd love to know the liquids you used(that were not mentioned),and where to buy them.

É só colocar numa vasilha e colocar vinagre e sal 200ml de vinagre e uma colher de café de sal após 30 minutos. E só limpar com escova de dente
Nice pfp! I love collecting ancients!

Very good
my uncle and aunt were owners of a metall factory, founded 1885. in world war 2 an us bomber fleet destroyed the city, 8 250 kilo bombs the factory. the workers, 239 men, collect and melt metal, like copper, lead, bronce, aluminium and so on. this was urgent to make ammunition for, 90 % , the 8,8 flak. by this bombing 19 workers passed away. the others found only 1 head, zigarette in mouth. loader make a mountain of the rest factory, in it ca. 400 tons metal. this mountain was named „ adolfs sled paradies „ . in 1994 my son and i search in this mountain and found about 60 kilograms coins from the years 1890 to 1912. not in perfect condition. i am a reloader and so we used my tumblers to clean the coins -- with stainless steel conqurements. fazit : all than more thousand coins like brandnew. i make an announce, an american collector buyed for 60 kilos 11250 dollars. also : tumbled old coins 😀😀
It left only its metalic value earlier people chase after its rarity and uniqueness the least found in the world the more favoured and sought aftered
Early days money must have a backing in tune with trading now much like mass production
People who watching in this 2024?
Be interesting to see the coins now and how much green is on them
Il mio parere è che non si proceda alla pulizia delle monete in questo modo: troppo invasivo.Preferisco acquistare monete con patine naturali.Grazie del video.
That turned out really nicely, I always enjoy your restorations. Thanks!
Класне відео. Я дуже давно чекав на реставрацію монет, такщо велике дякую! Результат мені сподобався, не зважайте на критику. Я з нетерпінням буду чекати нові відео про реставрацію монет!
Can you link us to the cleaning solutions you used?
Nice
Awesome work. Can you explain what are ingredients for cleaning solutions? or is it a secret? :-)
wow, great tutorial how to drop the price to zero
I was cleaning a coin once (regular penny, still in use), and I had a stubborn spot that wouldn't come off no matter how hard I tried. After a lot more cleaning than I should've done, I realised it was GUM. I was so traumatised. I might actually go back to cleaning my coins tho, simply because it's fun.
Why do collectors want rusty, dirty coins instead of clean, well preserved ones? Someone answer me, please. I do not understand.
This is because rusty coins are almost undamaged, but if they are washed, they will be damaged and their value will drop.
Great cleaning.The secret of successful cleaning is to know when to stop!
Most coin collectors dont want the rust, or dirt, they just have to accepted it because if they dont know what they are doing then they will devalue to coin so they tell everyone to never clean the coins, most collectors want coins in their natural condition, if the coins are copper, turn to a nice brown, called patina, unless the coins have very little use, and are in uncirculated condition called mint state then it stays that beautiful shiny copper red color; now sometimes these old copper coins get dirty with time and use, and they grow stuff on them like you see in the video, sometimes that green stuff is Pvc damage which is from putting your coins in cheap pvc 2x2 plastic flips, the pvc leaches from the plastic flip to your coin creating this green slim on the surface of the coin which will damage your coin over time if not removed, then sometimes coins; mostly copper get verdigris, a find green powder on the surface which you can remover easily with certain solution, I like to use "coincare" and the most dreadful condition a copper coin can get is called "Bronze Disease" that stuff is hard, green and nasty and will never come off easily without a fight, if not removed it will eat your coin to nothing and it will spread to your other coins like a cancer, in the end you have to take drastic measures to remove it, you will remove the patina off the coin but you save the coin for future collectors to find and collect. The rule of thumb is the value is in the patina, and some dirt is acceptable, but you never want to clean a coin with any abrasive creams or sand paper, or a metal wire brush, or even polish it to a mirror, this will destroy the value but upward of 50%-98%. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions you can email me and I'll see if I can help.
Because they want to keep the history that was in the coin
It shows how old that are
Over time old metals like coins collect rust. Some people like it because It shows how old the coin is
If you do not remove the dirt or grim off and you seek out a coin collection person how would you know what you have, that individual could take advantage of what you have because of a date on the coin that you cannot read.
there were also coins from 1765 (260 years old) and another one from 1767 (258 years old)
Would an ultrasonic cleaner work?
This is the first step. Then you need to clean the active corrosion on the coins and preserve them
@@ReXtorer Thanks. I e never seen a coin restoration before. Great vid 👍
Mayron po ako gnyan old coins saan ko Po e bebenta yan thanks 👍
I looked in your written description for the name of the solution you applied with a Q-Tip to clean the copper coins. Unfortunately, this information wasn't provided.
Something about this comment seems strange.
The pink stuff you put on looks like pink gatorade
What is that in bottle?
Where did you buy your coins from? I’m a coin collector and I love old coins like these, and yes it is a bad idea to clean valuable coins , it can take the value way down.
What are these green stains in some of these coins? I don't understand a lot about coin restoration, help would be appreciated 👍🏻
Idol meron ako double mint mark rare b yon
Is it a good idea to keep rubbing those coins together repeatedly?
कितनी कीमत लगी है इसकी एक करोड़ के हो सकते हैं क्या
the coins in the video probably aren't worth much.
how could you tell that some coins were made from different metals?
Valószínű, hogy értéktelen értmékről van szó .Az ilyen tisztítástól értéktelen lesz.
Eventually I'm gonna die, and people from the future will see this comment and say: "wow this guy's just another person that died and are "ghosts in social media" it's kinda wild to think about this
I wonder if people from the future would turn this into a meme
Which brand of degreaser do you use?
I randomly found out that on pennies you can use an eraser to clean the surface of the coin
I love this kinda stuff
A bold move to share International money laundering methods.
man, use laser for old metal cleaning, your are destroying the object if laser is not used. cheers
What are the cleaning solutions used and where are they available?
Satisfyingly disgusting if I collected coins I'd want then too clean, wish they had a thin layer of clear stuff over them so they can't rust or go smelly again 😂😅🤮 🎉

Omg no! Im a coin collector and this is wrong. Scratching the coins like that will definitely lower their value by at least 70% 😢

Does this devalue the coins 🤔
Probs, but value is only in the eye of the holder. To my wife, they should be melted down
You could leave it as it is, but then they would continue to corrode
Using a brush harshly as they were in the first couple mins drops the value of just about any coin to only the metal it's made from. Only if a coin was very rare would it retain any collectible value and it would be worth a tiny fraction of what it would've been if it was left corroded.
I have a 1826 Dutch east indies coin and very clean
LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE WORK, KEEP WELL..
Exactly, how much money.Are those coins worth in today’s dollars?
They're only worth the metal they're made out of after they're cleaned. Please don't clean coins...ever!
That depends on the condition of the coins after the cleaning; before the cleaning not very much, now after the clean he added some value back to them, now that big one with the double headed eagle in the middle, thats an Austrian 1807S 30 Kreutzer, I would give it a grade of fine to very fine, but in the condition that it was, it will most likely be melted down for the copper content, now after the cleaning he did, the value of the coin in my professional opinion is worth between $3-$7 dollars American in retail, and if I were buying it I will offer $1.50-$3.50.

If that USA Quarter made before 64 I think then it's worth $2.50 I think!!!

Use an meatl scrub more better
