First off I got this info from another FORUM by pa. Frank use a pint of steel BB;s a cup of water and one DROP of dish soap.An hour in the tumbler,a quick rinse in hot clean water,and let them air dry,works great.I figured out the BB thing when I found out that the MINT uses steel ball bearing;s to polish the(coin blank;s)before striking coin;s.BY PA.FRANK

I would use the Hotdog cleaner, First soak them for approx twenty minutes in Cider vinegar shaking occasionaly, rinse in clean water, dry, and tumble in treated media. The Cider vinegar works great and cleans them both inside and out. Dogger fill in the rest if I missed anything. ------------------
