I know it's a no-no but I cleaned/polished a large cent in the tumbler.
I dug up this toasted large cent at my grandparent's house in southern Ohio. I decided to run it through the tumbler for 24 hours with water, a drop of Dawn dish soap, and ceramic tumbling BBs.
It doesn't look natural or anything, but it's very readable. Probably won't really do this with any other coins I care about, but thought the results were interesting and worth posting.
