Hello Andrew, I usually soak my 50% Silver's in CLR for about an hour and then I use the baking powder to rub of the gunk, usually they clean up a treat without electrolysis, the 925s I use a magic eraser, and plain water they come up a treat, thanks for sharing mate ATB GL&HH 👍
Worth their weight in silver plus rare dates even more , I tried doing that to some 20c and they came out the same colour as a red sunset on the Simpson .......sign of the times thanks for the video
Not much silver in a 20c. While I had everything set up I did a crusty penny and token. Yer no. Think the baking powder cleaned it more. Thanks for watching Brian 👍😁
Nice video Andrew, Thank you ! Not everyone will ever agree on the best and greatest way to clean coins or wether to or not but it’s all down to personal preference, I think they came up a treat :) job well done.
Thanks for the video, I`m new to collecting and stacking, So far i have only collected pure silver coins and rounds but if i were to start with older coins i would much rather see them as they were intended to be rather than have scrungy looking ones.
Not wrong they looked awesome. Heading out for a hunt soon . On holidays so glad they lifted the restrictions. Old as site again hopefully score some more old silvers. Have a good day old chap 👍
Hi Andrew, as an electrolyte i use sodium carbonate, in Coles its called (Lectric Washing Soda Powder) 1tsp to 250ml water - for the cathode i use carbon rods, these can be brought on eBay or harvested from those cheap 6v lantern batteries you get 4 rods from each battery its messy but doable. Thanks for posting the video..
Thanks very much for sharing Andrew! Great video and very interesting way of cleaning coins. I’m (Ant) always looking for ways to clean my coins. Cheers, really appreciate it! 😁👍
@The Coffee Bush Kid yeah I bought some CLR last week 👍 haven’t tried it out yet but will do soon! Cheers and stay safe too. All the best on your next adventure 👍😁⛏
Howdy Andrew, That was a very informative video. I generally use a dremel tool with a wool felt tip and Flitz polish on my silver jewelry and coins. They come out really shiny with no coppery spots and usually doesn't take long. It works great on old copper/brass too but I tend to like a green patina on those coins. Maybe I'll give electrolysis a try though. I use it on iron finds. Looking forward to the silver dump video. Take care buddy.
Thanks again Andrew for uploading this vid.I tried this method and it works a treat.I been using electrolysis for some time now,but this method seems to work better.The salt might make the difference. Cheers.
That’s great. What I have since been told, that makes sense, is to have a longer anode so the clip is not in the solution. This was setting up electroplating with the post 1946 coins and giving me the copper look. Thanks for watching mate 😁👍
They would probably come up a treat if they are .925. My Grandmother would do a load of hand washing of clothes with all her rings on if see thought the look a bit dirty. They were gold ones though. Take care mate. Regards Andrew 🦘🦘👍😁
thanks friend. worked beautifully on a knackered coin I dug here in the states today. thanks for the recipe.
Great video. Have wondered how to do that, now I know. Cheers and thanks for the tips.

No worries Ant. I reckon it works ok but I will give Jim’s CLR a go fir the fifty percenters. Stay safe mate and happy swinging 👍😁

hi Andrew very informative thanks for sharing
No probs Jeffrey. Hope you and your wife are well. Stay safe mate 🦘🦘👍😁
Yes mate we are fine thanks staying close ta home hope you stay safe with your loved ones
Good info Andrew, you should do one on cleaning pennies etc.
I actually haven’t cleaned a penny any more than with a brush Albert 👍😁

The florin cleaned up nice mate :)
It certainly did. Thanks for watching and take care 🦘🦘👍😁
Coffee , I've been doing the same procedure for more years than I want to reveal.
Works great on .925 coins.
It does work well on the .925s. Don’t mind them shiny. Take care mate. Regards Andrew 👍😁
Great public service announcement 📣 !
Haha. Thanks Dug 👍😁
Hey Andrew, does this work for verdigris on pennies also? If so what sacrificial metal needs to be used???
I did try it on a penny and it didn’t work. Don’t know what would 😁👍
L&S 🤠
Wonder if it would work on silver tarnished rings? Thanks for the info!!
They would probably come up a treat if they are .925. My Grandmother would do a load of hand washing of clothes with all her rings on if see thought the look a bit dirty. They were gold ones though. Take care mate. Regards Andrew 🦘🦘👍😁
Ive always wanted to try this but a bit apprehensive.
It helps when someone shows you the ropes. Take care mate 👍😁
Any reason why your using aluminum in it and not another metal?
It is a lower base metal than silver and as an anode, it will be eaten away in the process of cleaning the coins 😁👍
Hey mate great vidoe is there a way to remove that copper colour on the 50% silver
G'day Nicholas. No there is not from electrolysis but I have since found you can clean the 50 percenters in CLR. They come up a treat. Cheers
привет друг,хорошое видео
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it.
Does this work on copper coins?
Not this set up Greg. Did give it a go myself. Nothing 😁👍
HYDROGEN PRODUCTION. CAREFUL GOOD WORK MATE
Thanks for the warning. Wondered what the gas would be. Will do. 👍😁
