Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 11/01/2011 5:34 pm Really good before and after shots. Now you need to use something like Dellers Darkener to give it back some color. JW Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 12:14 am Nice shots. I noticed you've been posting a few of these lately. Did you buy an uncleaned lot? Report this Post to the Staff

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 09:32 am I ended up taking off the patina on this coin for some extra details, and I'm soaking it in olive oil for a bit then melting some reno wax on it. Report this Post to the Staff
Caesar381 Valued Member Serbia (Srbija) 146 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 09:47 am Never tried to do that... at least for me,coins are wothless without patina. But if I get some coin with damaged patina I will try your method... Report this Post to the Staff
jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 10:58 am I agree if the coin is a nice one with out one side or both sides completely covered in cement like encrustation I leave it alone those are the keepers, these all came from uncleaned lots.
