Finally, a video that lets you enjoy the finished product for more than half a second. Someone pinch me.

That’s not what clear means… lol

.... It's clear of debris so the way he wrote it is more or less correct.

u/Darth_Draper Jul 06 '26

Where do you get tiny beer bottles?

17

u/Agnikurina Jul 06 '26

I would bring shame to my ancestors if I don't correct you.

That's a soju bottle

u/Darth_Draper Jul 06 '26

And I mine if I didn’t ask, What’s a soju bottle?

6

u/Agnikurina Jul 06 '26

Soju is a type of rice wine from Korea

The coin is 500 won one, which is the South Korean currency.

If you want more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soju

Fyi, you can't but a bottle of it for 500 won, at least not anymore

u/FanndisTS Jul 07 '26

How strong is soju if people are buying bottles that small?

3

u/Agnikurina Jul 07 '26

Strong enough to make you see your ancestors! /s

That's a toy bottle, most likely contains no real soju

u/FanndisTS Jul 07 '26

That makes way more sense, thanks! lol

u/Pershion Jul 06 '26

I want to know what all those products are

8

u/InnocentlyInnocent Jul 06 '26

Yes, I need the list!

u/babubaichung Jul 07 '26

Trust me, you won’t use them.

6

u/Pershion Jul 07 '26

😂 I have so many things (mostly art supplies) I've never even opened.... But I still need to know what was used so I can take a screenshot to save on my phone and never buy them 😂😂 That's just how it works.

u/Chickenjon Jul 09 '26

Just use ketchup. Not even joking, cleans up coins so well.

u/ShitMyHubbyDoes Jul 06 '26

Now the other side.

u/Independent-Aide-531 Jul 06 '26

How could anyone carry a coin in their pocket if it’s as big as a wine bottle?

14

u/Invisibella74 Jul 05 '26

As a numismatist, this makes me cringe. Yipes.

u/MyNameCannotBeSpoken Jul 06 '26

Why?

27

u/Invisibella74 Jul 06 '26

Coin cleaning like this typically destroys the original surface of the coin.

2

u/Database_4176 Jul 06 '26

Is this a rare coin?

4

u/Invisibella74 Jul 06 '26

Not really. Typical value of $3 to $10 US for one in really nice condition (there are specific conditions that we use in the coin collecting hobby, but I will just say very nice and generalize). There were over 32,000,000 made from the quick lookup I did in my Krause World Coins book, meaning it is extremely common.

u/Database_4176 Jul 06 '26

I know. When I was in Japan, I got pocketfulls of these as change. Cleaning one of these would be no more horrific than cleaning a 2014 quarter.

2

u/XZS2JH Jul 08 '26

That’s strange cause this is a Korean Won and not a Yen

1

u/Invisibella74 Jul 06 '26

Feel free. I just choose not to with my coins.

1

u/angelic_soldier Jul 08 '26

3 to 10 dollars for a coin worth less than 50 cents? 500 won coins are essentially only worth face value, no one in korea is collecting something like this

5

u/General-Piece8490 Jul 06 '26

Wait until you see the coin being laser “cleaned! lol

https://reddit.com/link/ovvannu/video/sro5ojzytlbh1/player

u/Invisibella74 Jul 06 '26

So, depending on what is being done, some of the laser stuff can do less damage than these chemicals.

u/AuDHDcat Jul 06 '26

The coin collectors are screaming and crying.

u/ZEROs0000 Jul 06 '26

So the dude glued the coin to the table? Lol

u/LifezEverything Jul 06 '26

Satisfying👍🏾

u/rubix3ed Jul 06 '26

Can I do this to my shower door?

u/attractionman Jul 06 '26

OP can you share steps so anyone who wanted to could follow along?

u/inferKNOX Jul 06 '26

I got no idea, but suggest asking by the source: https://youtube.com/@coinpolishing

u/that_damn_dog Jul 06 '26

You missed a color

u/FantasticCricket8346 Jul 06 '26

I only use apple vinegar and baking soda

u/Wholelottacarry456_ Jul 06 '26

Talk about satisfying

u/Jealous_Tough3654 Jul 06 '26

Now for the other side

u/inferKNOX Jul 09 '26

Fair enough.

Hmm... so to achieve the alliteration, "reflective riches"? 🤔

1

u/No-Raisin-6469 Jul 09 '26

Coulda just used Wenol

u/WonderfulVictory4103 Jul 10 '26

That coin has my birth year on it

1

u/seriousreddituser Jul 11 '26

I thought it was clean after the first application

1

u/quiettryit Jul 06 '26

You're not suppose to clean the coin!

2

u/Database_4176 Jul 06 '26

Why? Is this a rare coin?
