A token collection Or how do i clean theese dirty things?
koolmoecraig:
I just happened to do this the other night...
I recently bought a Berry's Tumbler(the harbor freight brand one is crap) for tumbling pinball parts. I dropped an old token in with the parts using walnut shell and some Flitz additive. 12 hours of tumbling later and the token literally shines like a freshly minted coin. It's virtually mirror-like. The token is an Aladdin's Castle token from 1982.
I'll get a pic up later today or tomorrow.
Tumbling is THE way to shine metal parts as far as I'm concerned.

I made a brass coin using powder metalurgy; after sintering it, it was polished in a tumbler using walnut media... came out very shiny 8)
nullb0y:
I will probably try the ultrasonic cleaner
Then if thats no good ill get a tumbler at harbor freight next time there on sale

When I was a kid my friend's mom made apple butter every fall. She always threw a handful of pennies in the kettle so you knew your stirring stick was scraping the bottom. Once she didn't have any pennies so we threw in a handful of tokens. 12 hours later they came out looking brand new!
