Final question

[cwilk]

At least for tonight. When you guys tumble coins what do you add to the tumbler? I have read about gravel, warm water, cold water, dishwashing liquid, lemon juice, vinegar,and sand. I currently use aquarium gravel, liquid dishwashing soap and cool water. I find that after 6-10 hours the coins look almost brand new. Any suggestions to shorten the process appreciated.

Yea, roll em like you find em and take them to the bank. That will shorten the cleaning time. OK guys, bring it, I'm ready. Below is a "ready to roll" shot.

I have a great relationship with my bankers and I'm afraid that one or two of those pennies might upset the apple cart. Funny stuff!

I turn mine in. They don't ask for account numbers. They are still US coins so as far as I'm concerned they are legal tender. This battle has been an ongoing thing on this forum.

I use aquarium gravel, water, concentrated cleaner, and half of a brillo pad.
