Cleaning Coins with Top Brite Polish at Brimfield Show

May 20, 2009 · Filed Under Top Brite Metal Polish 

At the Brimfield Antique & Flea Market Shows, we had a chance to spend some time speaking with Conrad of Top Brite Polish. He was doing a brisk business as he demonstrated Top Brites’ ability to clean old coins, jewelry and antique metals at the booth he was manning at J & J Promotions. The Reid family started Brimfield back in 1959 and the big red barn at J&J’s is probably still regarded as the premier show held 3 times a year in Brimfield, Massachusetts. The picture below shows the opening of the gate on Friday morning. Droves of people run in looking to scoop up the bargains and get some of that amazing Top Brite Polish to spiff up their finds before putting them in their shops or collections.

Conrad’s demonstration is short but effective. I know most coin collectors would not want to clean coins as they feel it ruins the numismatic  value of them. However it does show just how well the polish works. A very small dab of polish is squeezed directly from the tube onto the tip of his finger about 1/4 inch in diameter. He then rubs the polish on an old towel, although he says any cloth will work  even an old sock, nothing special. Next he rubs the cloth with the polish on it across the coin a couple of times,  finds a clean spot on the cloth and rubs it to a finished shine. Probably all told, a few seconds work. The results below says it all. We saw similar quick results on rings and other items people brought up for him to try the polish on. Top Brite Polish comes in small and large tubes. These seemed to sell briskly while we were there. If you are looking for a great polish look him up the next time you get to Brimfield. If you can’t get to Brimfield  similar type polishes are available online by clicking here.
