Coin Polishing

[OakleyGuru379]

Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish is the product. In the display case discussion I did a review of it compared to some other products once upon a time. If you're interested you can probably find it by searching "polish review" posted by me in that forum, but basically Mother's really put a shiny polish on things, even if that wasn't the original finish.

"Elbow grease" - you'd asked "the best way"... Using Mothers you just need a clean cloth and do it by hand i.e. elbow grease; no need for a dremel or other fancy tool...

Just did this last night with Mother's and a paper towel.

That turned out really well, like a mirror...

I'm too cheap to buy a can of the stuff for one coin. I'll admit it.

(amusingly, I notice they also use the term "elbow grease" in describing how to use it...)

That's not a bad cost to make something shiny. I like shiny things.

And then you'll already have it handy the next time you get an urge to shine something up...
