You are cleaning in your attic and while doing it you suddenly discovered some cool antiques you can make use of like a coin bracelet. If decide to wear it or make some money with it through dealers, you can follow these steps to help you decide on ways to clean it.
Check for the coin value
You should take note that if you are not familiar with the value of your coin bracelet, do not clean them, leave it the way as it is first. If you are planning to sell your coin bracelet to collectors or dealers, they could easily determine the value if the coin bracelet is well-preserved and it is in it’s original condition. Several commercial jewelry cleaners and metal polishes can remove totally the toning on the copper and silver coins that usually deposit. It often degrade the coin’s quality resulting to a diminished value.
Cleaning process
If you decide on cleaning your coin bracelet, follow these suggestion. Soak the coin bracelet in a warm distilled water, overnight to loosen surface dirt. Afterward, wash it with warm and soapy distilled water and a mild liquid dish washing soap using a soft toothbrush as a scrub. The soapy solution is about 1 tbsp dish washing liquid to a pint of water. The loosen dirt can also be removed with the use of petroleum jelly using a cotton swab. Olive oil is effective for stubborn residues, use a cotton swab to scrape of the dirt. Isopropyl or denatured alcohol is a non-corrosive agent that can be used as an alternative for olive oil. If other agents aren’t effective, use a baking a soda and vinegar together, be aware not to soak the bracelet for more than 30 seconds. For copper coins, soak them in grape oil as it is easily damaged upon cleaning. For dark silver coins, you can use ammonia, vinegar of lemon juice, for Gold coins. For Gold and Nickel coins, you can use the dish washing liquid solution method.
Rinsing and drying the coin
After cleaning using a specific agent, use distilled water to rinse. Do not use tap water as it may contain minerals that can corrode the coin bracelet. Pat dry the rinsed coin bracelet with a soft cloth and then allow to air-dry.
If you decide on wearing it, choosing the right cleaning agent is best to help preserve it’s integrity.
