fantastic job. Congratulations.
How you managed to retain the remaining silver surface is unbelievabe!
How did you go about cleaning it, and how many hours did it take?

Great job! By looking at the first pic only, I never would have guessed what was underneath.

Very nice work. Silvered bronze coins like this can be difficult to clean. You did a great job on it.

The coin was 5-6 days in distilled water before I start.It takes me 3 days and 1-2 hours per day.

Please let me know when you have run out of your own coins to clean as I have a fair few that would benefit from your treatment
