I had posted the hexagonal one a while back and I think someone said it was Spanish. Back and front... or front and back These two actually seem to have busts, I can try for better pictures after I get the camera worked on Any ideas would be great, thanks in advance. Also I keep meaning to looking into the whole green gunk removal think. Is there a kitchen science experiment (vinegar, baking soda, ketchup, mustard, relish?) that I can have fun with or should I just get the commercial products?

ASLAN TVorlon Pillar of the Community United States 1234 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 11:12 am better pics... unfortunately it will take a ton of work to get my area in the basement in better order and half of the stuff needs to go out to storage. I'm not doing that until there is less then 6 inches of snow, so stay tuned... it'll be a while. also the left coin in the busts 'close-up' seems to have a high collar and a small ruff, plus a little curly-Q cow-lick at the forehead/bangs area. It's got a heck of an off center strike too. I'll try to get better pics but like I said that will not be easy, I have a camera stand idea but no space to set it up... I collect coins, Star Trek stuff, computer stuff, and tons of other JUNK too. I come from a long line of packrats, when my great-grand mother went into a rest home in the late 1970's my dad bought her place and inherited several buildings that were full of, well, Junk. after all this time most of it is still around but we're working on it. Thanks for looking and trying to ID with these pics, any suggestions on cleaning, especially the first coin in the top row? I see that as the experiment coin, not much can make it worse Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 11:14 am Top left is a perfect coin to try brushing. Very short cut bristles. My experiment coins, without fail, always turn into something special. I have a (seemingly) unique Julia Domna which was an experiment coin for a long time. Report this Post to the Staff
