Laura, I also am coming back to this after a long absence - 3 years in my case. What prompted me was I found a (forgotten) jar that has some coins in it that...

Jerry, I've tried a #2 pencil, and I sure like the way it does clean. What about harder pencils such as a H2 or H4? Do you think that would harm the coin's...
Hey my friend! Paul, do us a favor my friend. I have not tried the harder pencil but I have wanted to. I live in such a small town it is hard for me to get ...
Does anyone have any experience with ultrasonic cleaners like they would use on jewelry, or small industrial parts? What are the pro's and con's of using such...
Jerry, I just finished cleaning a coin using my 5H through 9H and find them better for very tight places as the lead isn't so soft that it "melts" as I scrub....
Great my man! I used to have some of the drafting pencils but I have no idea where they are. I would like to find the harder lead for a 5mm (or a 7mm) ...
