Hello friends,

I have no budget for coins at the moment so the only option left is trolling the proverbial dumpsters of ebay looking for some edible scraps.

I am pretty sure this coin is Helena, PAX PVBLICA reverse, and am also pretty sure it won't clean up that well but for $1.60 I get an identifiable empress, and I get that feeling of anticipation when the mail carrier plops an envelop in my mailbox.

Thought I'd share my little personal victory with everyone

It might clean up just enough. Well spotted.

I will post some before and after pics when the process is over. Hopefully it will go well, but if it doesn't, we shall never speak of this again
