So this morning I woke up early... like very early!

I have a rhubarb patch... and there is a local business that makes jams and jellies and etc etc etc...How-To-Turn-Rhubarb-Into-Silver!

The "Montana Huckleberry People"... not meant as a plug but they are nice people there

So I took 42.6 pounds of rhubarb to them after plucking it for more than an hour... This is old growth... Grandma started it Mom transplanted it and I'm harvesting it

75 cents a pound and I ended up with enough to get a DVD I've been looking for off of Amazon and I hit the LCS and said I'd like something interesting......

How-To-Turn-Rhubarb-Into-Silver!

No, NO, NOOOOO , I have taken requests to make the pictures WORSE but I really can't make them much badderer than this

It's an 1883 Seated Liberty Dime

For general type set I have seated barber and beyond for dime and half... I still need a Seated quarter to finish my truncated set of 'one from each type of seated to present'.. NO I'm not worried about arrows at date and the varieties...

A seated is a seated... a barber, a barber... I don't care that they changed them, a SET is something YOU can make for yourself and I am

I have seen worse on ebay, and posted here. Don't give up your quest to make them badderer.

Nice exchange for something that you wanted.

whenever I post a pic someone always says .. NEED BETTER PICS!

I've given up on making BETTER pics... I have ideas on good "betterer" pics but will need work on them.

SOOOOO..... unless someone tells me it's a very bad idea I will try something in the morning...

I had read somewhere that the acidic juice of rhubarb is good for cleaning silver

and even thou it's stringy and coarse it's mostly water and falls apart, so it should not hurt the coin with scratches
