    This is what I use on certain large cents, colonials, Indians and 2 cent pieces. Works really good on Indians and 2 centers. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-4-Mag...-/171152786896

    Yes, as don in ny said, those pencils work great. They work better with bronze and CU/NI. I would be really careful using them on copper only coins though. Specially a CT copper as beautiful as yours.

    Here are a couple videos on how to use them or how to sharpen them : (Sorry, it's in French...)

    WTG on the CT. Love my CT's! Getting 2-2 Centers is awesome. I've only found 1 so far in my 6 years.
