I posted these a couple months ago and these are the final results. I dont think I can do anymore to these coins. These werent that bad in the first place just had some build up in the fields but they turned out very nice.   |

these photos arent as sharp as they should be because I had to hold the coins in one hand up close to the light and photo with the other hand and as much as I tried to hold still there is still some movement that blurred the photos.

It has turned out really well, don't you think? I have a similar coin someone just gave me. I would like to clean it as you did, but I no longer have the patience for it. Good job my friend.

thanks for all the comments I would post the before pictures but there is too many photos to go through and not really that much difference except slightly sharper reverses.

These are very small coins I wonder what they could actually buy back then.

I use distilled water soaks with chemical and mechanical cleaning in between

Ok here is one more small fallen soldier coin. I've been working on this one for a bit but I think I'm done now. -This coin is still green I just angled it so the l light will bring out the details. not much of a difference here either for this coin but hey every little detail counts. The fields on the reverse where a little rougher in the beginning.   This is of the finished coin in sunlight its not the best photo but just meant to bring out the color of the coin. All these coin still have a nice patina its just the angles under the light that are meant to show the detials that make the coins color look off. ågain I'm just having fun and trying to make my coins better.
