I’ve seen enough antiques roadshow episodes to know you never remove the patina, now it’s worthless!

Your 1979 penny!!! It was worth a whole penny before you did that. Now I wouldn't give you more than a penny or maybe 1/100 of a dollar for it. Shame really.

I wrapped half in duct tape and then just put it in a pile of ketchup for maybe five-ten minutes. I had heard it works, but didn’t really think it actually would!

I like mine with mustard and relish.

Ketchup is a bit acidic causing it to eat away the grime.

This penny I cleaned by just leaving it in ketchup for a few minutes
