I think I'll start the MDS Semi-Professional Coin Restoration Service. Regrettably, I won't be a patron as I own a Dremel and can therefore perform all required operations myself. |

I'll need a Dremel for house calls. Thanks for reminding me.

This is one that needs something done. I don't know what caused this but if I can do what you did, I'll do it.  |

What is strange, is the reverse looks mint condition.

 Very nice job with this old girl. Sometimes it is worth it. I think someone would not mind owning this for a collectable rather than just throwing it in a melt pile now. In its plated form, to me it was a melt-worthy piece. How long was it in the electrolysis tank? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Articsparky,
I'm not certain what's going on with the coin but if one side looks great, electrolysis will discolor the reverse. I'd try an acetone soak . This one may be better off left alone.

She spent about 72 hours going through the electrolysis process. There is still a tiny amount of chrome that did not come off. I believe you can overdue this process so I decided to quit while I was ahead.

What you did appears to be a proper restoration. Restoration could include proper cleaning. However, most cleaned coins have been done so improperly.

Looks very nice! You did a great job on cleaning. I don't like to clean coins but that one needed it.

There are exceptions to every rule, and this coin was the perfect exception to the "don't clean coins" rule. Great job, mds308! |
