Mercy- Cleaning is deep physiological subject.

[Captain]

Cleaning your finds is a deep read .. just seems you best know what your doing in even the basic levels of cleaning. I definitely need to read more.
what do you guys do? induldge me as im sure you have talked about this before.

[Buster]

I think most use a tumbler to clean. I myself stick most all of my finds in a plastic jar till it gets full. Then I will clean them off.....Buster....

Tumbler is the best route to take for cleaning Clad coins. I'm looking for a good one right now.

DO NOT clean any Silver coins, other than in a little soap and water. And don't rub the dirt off them when found, they scratch very easily. If its a KEY Date or other coin of significant value, scratches will degrade it real quick.

I have ordered a tumbler for my clad. Any of my good coins will just get a ggod rinse and soak in some soapy water. Good luck to you, Beale.
