Some of you may remember this from last year:
Well this year the wife say NO WAY am I going to use her new treadmill to clean my coins this year.
So I went to harbor freight looking for the. dual drum tumbler. I was very surprised how small the drums were. Then I saw a vibratory tumbler sitting above it. There were 2 sizes but even the smaller one looked like it would handle more than the dual drum so I bought the small one for $52.
I got home and started doing some coin cleaning. First I threw $50 worth of quarters in, a couple handfuls of aquarium gravel and a few squirts of my "Fast Orange" hand cleaner from my shop and let it run for 2 hours. came out very nicely. Not all shiny and new but plenty good for tossing in the coin machine at my bank.
They have a coupon out for 25% off on Jan. 1st so that would be a good time to buy one. The larger one is $85. I may go back and get that one myself and sell off this one then.
