::wrinkles her nose:; absolutely disgusting. I hope they were at least silver. Time to get the paint thinner out.

I wish!!! I'd be 100% happy with painted silver!!! Unfortunately they are just pieces of CRH Pop Art!

Maybe I'll make an art piece using all the marked coins I find (I'm a professional by day and artist by night). Might be kind of unique huh?! Hmmmmm....

I've been getting several hundred of the green ones a week. I'm trying to clean them when I get em.

Not a bad idea...get the paint out of the system!

The good news with the box I found them in...I found almost as many silvers!!! Just goes to show you can hunt mark and return all you want but it's still out there!!!

That's what I do too. I just put them in my tumbler that I use for MD finds.

OOOHHH they look like Christmas tree ornaments. Oops I mean Holiday tree ornaments. Sorry if I offended anyone. Pfft

I've had an urge recently to drill holes in my clad halves and sew them to a leather coat - making a kind of ringmail. I could do the same with my 40% halves and make mithril chain!

I've got no time to clean coins, I'd rather search more! I just got one of those pink ones today

 

[solielj]

I've gotten some of the green one's that someone cleaned. lol I was wondering who would bother cleaning them.

 

[hotrod]

nice!

I wonder if throwing them into a bucket with paint thinner would work? Let them sit for a couple of hours, give them a shake now and again, like a nasty margarita drink. Probably in a few days of letting them sit they will be clean with no elbow grease required.

Just my two halves,
Garoulady

Though about it but it was quicker just taking them back to the bank:-). Got another 4 boxes this Wednesday to search...looking to cash in to buy my wife something real nice for Xmas!!!!

Some jokester thinks it's funny to paint clad.

That's one way, the other way is to use a tumbler. Once you have one, just put in the halves, set a timer for 7 hours (enough to clean most spraypainted halves) and take them out. It's that simple.

Neither way should be used if you are looking at providing another hunter with some type of numismatic find.

ACETONE is the only chemical that will remove the paint and not hurt the coin providing the coin is not already damaged from the painting. Not Nail Polish remover either, straight Acetone in a well ventilated area <(read outside)>.

I don't think ol'sagittarius is keeping any cleaned clad, and its probably a heck of a lot safer for him. Stick with the tumbler homie.
