How to clean your coins
My advise is never clean your coins if you can avoid it, in case there is no option but to clean your coins, heres what I do.
I have 4 steps, the first is buffing them with a soft buffing cloth or a terry bath towel / napkin
If the coin still needs cleaning, then soaking in a soapy solution of detergent and water. About 12 hours
If you still need to clean it more, then soak in a solution of lemon juice and water. but make sure you wash it completely clean after.
For the absolutely war like situation when a coin just wont get clean, soak for 2-3 hrs in a solution of water with household bleach. BE CAREFUL. It is highly corrosive 99% of the coins will get clean
In my opinion , Do not use toothpaste since they tend to have a high hardness on MohS scale and may scratch your coins. Dont use cola either again highly anti coin friendly
All the best, keep safe -
Should I invest in Gold Silver Platinum and Palladium - How I do it
In this part I will speak of investing in precious metals like gold, silver, platinum and palladium
Silver is my favorite since every electric car uses 20 gms and the world production of electric cars is on the rise.
Theres also a lot of fun that can be had from it. I have added silver tokens also referred to as silver coins such as Mickey Mouse, Guru Nanak, Radha Krishna at a very reasonable price since silver is at a very reasonable price
Indians always love gold , so that will go up too but not that much, Platinum despite having uses in a lot of electronics has had a drop in prices due to its major use being in Catalytic Convertors for normal cars Palladium unfortunately is not available in India easily, if you know where to get some, please leave it in the comments section below
