I have had several people ask me how to use this technique that I use for cleaning coins and buttons so here is a video of my demonstration just remember to rinse well then dip in 93% rubbing alcohol to remove any excess water that may be trapped especially in buttons, and then to seal with a beeswax type compound!!

For non key date silvers, I found that just wetting a coin with water, then dropping it into a spoonful of baking soda and rubbed very lightly between fingers will remove tarnish in seconds. It shine up the coin like new.

I clean my old copper coins of Russian Empire with ammonia, then with soap and water. Thus falls off all unnecessary dirt. And then I cover them with a patina. Per liter of water pours out 100 grams of copper sulfate and 5 grams of potassium permanganate. Then boil it for about 5 minutes, depending on what color I want to achieve the patina.

What about silver, it is good to clean the following method.
Take a spoonful of salt and a spoonful of baking soda, pour a little water and put a chain / coin / ring in this substance. After a half an hour your silver will shine like new!

I like the "cover them with a patina" idea. I'll have to try that.
