Cal_Cobra Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I haul my clad to the casino in Tonopah when we go, and use that as my seed money for their [tiny] casino for our stay. I'll wash off the dirt, but I don't tumble it (I've seen mixed results from tumbling). It usually keeps me away from the ATM 🙂 I know others that roll and deposit their annual clad harvest.

I’ve tried so many different suggestions and none have worked yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PI-Man Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I like to find out where Joe D and F350 are hunting and seed the area with the crusty clad. That way I get them to get rid of them for me 😂 Tumbler for an hour. If the cheap pennies do not clean up they get pitched (yea a shame). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I have 2 grades of wire wheels on my grinder. Coarse and fine. I hold each coin with a pliers, and it takes about 3 seconds per coin to clean. All coins come out shiny when Im done. The rotted zincs I throw away. The coins have no collectors value when cleaned this way, but you can run them thru the bank or spend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Just a few seconds with cleaning clad using a power driven wire wheel, restores the quarter on the left to look close to new. Using a pliers and safety glasses is a must! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
