However, there is a characteristic look to this coin that is 100% cloth wheel.&nbsp; I&#039;ve done it many times as a youth in my father&#039;s watch shop. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>GDJMSP, posted: &quot;Do you guys even know what a jeweler&#039;s cloth is? Simply put it is something that is specially made to do what was done to that coin. They are as common as dirt and only cost about $5.
