Yes, it works without a tumbler. Just use a plastic jar with a good lid. Put the coins in the jar and cover with vinegar and add a tablespoon or two of table salt, non iodized is preferable but not mandatory. slowly move the jar, coins and mixture around in all directions for 10 to 15 minutes (up to 45 minutes if you can but no longer) and you will be surprised how nice they come out. Rinse them with clean water as soon as they come out. The clad will have a sheen on them but completely spendable and acceptable. You can remove the sheen by repeating the process with only water and a drop or two of dishwashing soap but is not necessary. Be SURE to keep pennies separate from the other clad or they all will be pink.
