Could I get some tips on cleaning up and perhaps even removing the tarnish from the clad coins I am finding? I have arock tumbler that I thought might work, but what should I put in it with the coins? Any help would be appreciated.
Lot's of recipes in the threads here I'm sure but I just use some dishwashing soap and a little abrasive like undyed aquarium gravel or coarse crusher fines like used in a driveway. If you're going to dump the coins in a counter somewhere it will take less time to get them clean enough but , if you're going to roll and spend them , you might run them a bit longer and separate the clad from the "copper" first to avoid having copper tinted dimes and quarters
that's my recipe, low suds dish soap, aquarium gravel, a couple cap full of lemon juice and white vinegar, ( brings back the shine better ) and always separate the Penny's from the silver coins, helps to use separate batch's of gravel too.
