Cleaning nickels

[the gambler]

My last post I had alot of interest in how I clean my nickels. It takes different amounts of time depending on how you want it to look or how dirty it is. I have soaked them for a couple of hours or a couple of days. I use lime away and a brass brush. You have to turn them over because the bottom side doesn't soak as well. If you use a bowl rounded on the bottom it can soak both sides at the same time. I take them out rinse with water, dry, then brass brush them, then put them back until desired look. However on key dates I don't do anything I have a professional clean them and for those interested I posted close ups of the 1908 s indian not cleaned just used water. Thanks for your looking. If you have any tips for me it would be appreciated. "HAPPY HUNTING" "THE GAMBLER"

Thanks for the tip on cleaning the nickels. Sometimes people get a little carried away with making sure it is posted in the right sections of the forum instead of being appreciative that you are sharing the information in the first place.

I will have to give this a try on the red nickels that I have in my jar.

HH,

Dave
