Clad Clean-Up (follow-up)

[TheCoilist]

Not sure what "cookie coins" means (I kinda new at this), but yes, I have used this method to clean up clad that I found at the beach, and I can't tell any difference in that, and the coins that I find at home.

I hope this is what you meant ?

Cookie coins are coins that have been beached a while and have had things caked on them. See attached.

White coins are cookie coins exposed to beach elements. Next to that is typical dirty clad.

I bought the cheapest aquarium gravel I could find , its colored blue , made no difference the coins came out great.

+1. I would hate being on the receiving end of some of my rolled clad. Imagine standing behind the register and you bust open a roll of crusty zincolns that looks like mice chewed off all the edges and worms ate holes through them.
