save time cleaning your coins

Zeekey posted the following about cleaning coins. IT REALLY WORKS!!!!

"Some people are trying to find a good way to clean coins better and faster. I ran across this video and tried it. It works pretty good but the coins come out tarnished. Here is the trick I tried and it works. Thanks John333 you saved me hours of tumbling time. I use the same tumbler as John and have been using it for years. All I did was add 2oz. of concentrated lemon juice to the vinegar and I used 4 tablespoons of table salt. I ran the tumbler for 45 minutes. I am going to experiment with less salt and 3 oz. of lemon juice next time I tumble. I tumbled $140 worth of quarters, dimes and nickles. 240 quarters so my loads were much bigger than John's..
I want to thank John333 for the video and making my tumbling time much shorter. I was tumbling from 4 to 6 hours each load."

I tried it just using half venigar, half leamon concentrate and a hand full of table salt. The first try was not a success. I made the mistake of ading a drop of dish washing soap. DON'T DO that. It will explode. DROP the soap. I did a batch of disrty filthy clad in an hour. It normally takes me 6 hours or longer.

This is amazing!!!!! GO TO GENERAL INTEREST FORUM to see vedio.

The coin collectors I have talked with have said that for modern coins, the method you describe is ok, but for older coins, the lemon juice will change the color of copper on cents, over time. That might not matter to you for just cleaning them up, but if it's something older, and you want to keep the value of it, the lemon juice will be a problem later; how much later is a wide open variable.

Yea, you sure don't want to do this with any OLD coins.
I just cleaned a small batch of clad last night and it only took an hour,
although I usually let the tumbler run for two hours. The banks and those
poor guys who operate the Coin Star machines really appreciate it too.

I don't know why people want to throw dirty coins into a Coin Star or all
those zinc eaten pennies and leave a mess for someone else to clean up.
It never hurts to show a little respect for someone else. Whats that old saying?
"What goes around comes around?"
