eZest Easy Coin Cleaner Copper Gold Silver Jewelry - 5 ounce Jar

Update June 2021: I realized that my first review was given after not completely following instructions. Instructions say to first clean the coin with a mild soap solution. When doing this I got really excellent results. It will remove more than surface dirt, although best used on a coin that is in F or better condition. Changed to a 5 star rating and highly recommend it! (comment about packaging still applies)This pretty much does what it is advertised to do. It removes some dirt and tarnish from coins without really doing the type of deep cleaning that would lessen their value. Be aware that this means it will not remove much more than surface dirt and blemishes and this somewhat weakly. Don't expect it to change a dark coin to have luster. It is also pretty pricey. So if you are an experienced coin collector it is a good thing to have. If you just want to really deep clean coins and don't care too much about their subsequent valuation by a numismatist, baking soda cleans much better for a lot less money.Beware! This is a liquid that for some reason was packaged in a jar rather than a bottle. When I opened it I got spills all over the table it was on.

if your silver is tarnished with yellowish toning then it is good, but if it is dark will not clean completely. Once opened the can will leak if it tips over. But even with that so far it still works after months of sitting on the self. I like it because it requires no rubbing. It cleans brass but it almost looks more like copper after.I will be buying another can when the one I have finally fizzles out or it is gone.

The cleaning solution works great but I don't like being misled. The photos clearly show a small dipping tray is included.... WHEN IT'S NOT! It's called FALSE ADVERTISING.

Arrived quick and works good but it was leaking when I took out of package but only a little bit of it was lost

The coin shop I buy from turned me on to this. I had some 20 year old uncirculated Walking Liberty Silver Dollars I wanted to trade- in because they were tranished due to being being handled by bare hands. The store owner told me not to trade themIn and save my money and buy a bottle of this. Skeptic about “cleaning” any collectible coins I went ahead and took his advice. Glad I did because this stuff works great and in only 5 seconds. The only advice the store owner gave me, which is not on the bottle, is to run lots of water in the sink afterwards because you don’t want this sitting in sinks drain pipe.

messy and didn't really work for me. Discarded after first couple unsuccessful tries.

I attempted to restore a few coins using MS-70 with lackluster results. I decided to ramp it up a little and try this because it was touted as being a much stronger agent that could remove undesireable residues and milk spots from coins. It even warns to not allow coins to be in contact with the solution for any longer than 5 seconds. I followed all the instructions...wore gloves, made sure the area was ventilated, etc. The smell of the sulfuric acid was mostly covered up by the perfume, which basically makes it smell like blue mouthwash, sort of a cinnamint smell. After 5 seconds of submersion (using a plastic spoon since the dipper was NOT included) there was hardly any recognizable result. Since these coins are not in any condition worth grading, I decided to experiment and dip them longer. I got up to 20 seconds before the obvious grime began to dissolve and the coins began to look marginally brighter. The benefit ended there. After a full FIVE MINUTES the milk spots and album plastic damage were still evident. There was also no apparent damage to the coins, fortunately. They still had the same level of cartwheel luster as they had before the dip. So I'm going to pass final judgment on this product as "mid." It doesn't work miracles, but it did manage to clean some additional grime off the coins. It is not nearly as corrosive on silver and clad coins as the warnings would suggest, but I cannot attest to the effect on copper at this time.

Removing tarnish/toning from precious metals beautifies the piece. While it is not wise to clean circulated coins, for bullion pieces, e-Z-est Coin Cleaner does wonders to bring back that freshly minted appearance as long as you follow the instructions on the jar (which means, among other things, don't keep the bullion in for too long or you risk burning off the natural luster).
