One box took a month? My God man! I used to do several boxes daily (at the peak of my time doing this). I probably missed some but looking at zincs over and over does get old fast.
Not sure if I want to do a dollar box. I don’t like coins with edge lettering. That said I do buy them from the tellers at the bank from time to time also get them from the convenience store clerks. They love to get rid of them. I just put them away until I have time to learn the varieties, then will search what I have socked away.
I really am enjoying the penny searching. I like toned coins, and pennies tone nicely. I have found that when I see a dull but toned penny, if I put a drop of germX on it and rub it between my fingers, it takes the grime off and really brings the toning out nicely!!
No I have tested that on untoned pennies, the GermX does not cause any toning to happen. I have also washed dull toned pennies in warm water, soap and a soft bristle toothbrush. Same result as the GermX, but the GermX is much easier and quicker.
