vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 5:47 pm Actually, no. vermontensium refers to my 1786 Ryder-7 Landscape Copper, my avatar. I'm a Colonial nut and had the chance to research extensively, the site of Reuben Harmons supposed Mint site, and subsequently flying back to Rupert,VT. with my metal detector and research. Appears I found the location but no coins that time, but some interesting Colonial relics. I'm going back soon. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

As I read my Red Book about the VT coppers, I have often wondered if the location was discovered.And when you say "soon" you must mean in May as that is about the earliest we can MD in VT. as they say, "8 months of winter and 4 months of darn poor sledding."

nwc coin Pillar of the Community United States 516 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 09:51 am If you do decide to use Verdi-care, I would ask BadThad (on this forum) for advice/help considering the value of the coin. He is the inventor/founder of Verdi-Care, and would definitey be able to give you detailed help/instructions for your situation. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 4:17 pm You definitely didn't ruin the coin removing some dirt with olive oil is pretty normal for stuff that gets pulled out of the ground. From here, you might want to give it a long soak in acetone and then send him off to ANACS to get it certified. I don't think further conservation is going to add a whole lot to the value and the risk of ruining the coin probably outweighs any benefit. Report this Post to the Staff
