<p>[QUOTE="Jack Moderas, post: 24566531, member: 146995"]Hard to believe I can't get a straight answer on how to clean disgusting war nickels. All I care about is removing every trace of black so they can be given away to friends and family for life's necessities in case the shtf. Most people wear gloves to keep from getting prints on their precious metals and coins. I wear gloves to keep my fingers from instantly getting black and stinking. I almost bought a tumbler because any method that requires any rubbing is a non-starter as I'm trying to clean 4000 nickels. So who has actually tried this? I've seen a couple of references (no results) and I'm thinking they are joking. I can barely make out the dates on some of them. There were several perfect AU in the bucket, which I've put in cases, but the rest aren't even worth melt because no refiners want these things for melting. One post said he used drano to clean a disgusting silver coin and it came out beautifully. How 'bout that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
