Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 05/15/2015 8:34 pm Wow - a proud-to-own coin for sure! The detail on it is amazing for how old it is and where you found it. Congrats! I sure would be dancing a jig! Do you mind letting us know how you restored it so well? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

jdbarrick Valued Member United States 350 Posts	Posted 05/18/2015 3:39 pm Earle, I used vinegar and course salt in a glass and allowed it to sit for 2 hr intervals. After each soak I gently brushed the coins surfaces with a soft bristle tooth brush. I continued the process for about ten cycles over the next week or so until I reached a point where I was no longer comfortable continuing the restoration. I am very happy with the result :) Report this Post to the Staff
