In most cases polishing or cleaning a coin in any way only depreciates the value of it. I would not recommend it but if proper instrments are used a coin can go up in value. but you have to be careful not to scratch or damage the coin in any way. when polishing you do not want to present or change any toning to the coin. be careful what you use.try not to use any curosive chemicals and do not, i repeat do not rub the coin to polish it. It will only rub down the coin.

Collectors like coins to not be modified at all from their original condition. If you polish a coin, you are actually removing very small amounts of the material and this decreases it's value.

∙ 7y agoMany coinage metals (like copper and silver) naturally form a patina layer that helps protect against further damage to the coin; by polishing that away, you're just allowing corrosion deeper into the surface of the metal and reducing both the condition and value of the coin. The best advice as to how to polish coins is "Don't."

If it is a collectable coin that you are considering selling, it should be left in the same condition you received it in. Cleaning coins generally reduces the value.
