mschipp Valued Member Australia 95 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 02:19 am Hi all, Is this too ugly to be worth anything? I do not even know what the discolouration is. Feels smooth - should I soak it in anything? Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 06:19 am Looks cleaned but it's not that worn. I wouldn't say it's worth nothing. Report this Post to the Staff
mschipp Valued Member Australia 95 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 06:56 am Mr T, well it is cleaned now :) I wanted to see how cleaning would go and as it was not worth much and I did not know what that marking was made from... I now think it is some kind of glue. The coin came off ebay with a 1943 florin (that I wanted), some threepence's, some penny (one side panted gold - now in the bin)and some world coins - so in all $11 for what I call a 1943 in VF, I am happy to play with the 1915HP Report this Post to the Staff
mschipp Valued Member Australia 95 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 08:06 am So now I am the prod owner of one 1915 half penny filler coin :) - sure it is real, and sure it is now worthless! P.S. I now know what white vinegar and salt can do. Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 08:39 am Lol I'm sure everyone has experimented with vinegar at one point. You only do it once until you realise that salmon aint a pretty colour. Report this Post to the Staff
mschipp Valued Member Australia 95 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 08:47 am enworb - what can I say other then +1 (salmon is not my choice of colour for a copper coin) Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 09:12 am Its a shame it was so corroded. If it was nicely brown in tone then it would be quite a decent coin with less than average wear. Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 07/24/2013 08:22 am Let it tone up for a bit. Report this Post to the Staff
