canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 04/15/2016 12:42 am I bought this 1882H for $200 as a potential restoration project. Although a double die variety, it had a hideous bubbly surface all over the obverse. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/272176686833...RK:MEBIDX:IT Report this Post to the Staff

canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 04/15/2016 12:44 am Step 1: Goo-gone on Q-Tip removed most of the bubbly material...then came time for the thorns. Step 2: The bubbly surface material was shiny and hard but came off greenish and waxy with the use of a thorn... Report this Post to the Staff

canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 04/15/2016 3:47 pm aswag...no water...just a bit of goo-gone on a Qtip, gently go over the surface of the coin, then wipe off with a cloth... Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 1:23 pm Most of the bronze coins that I have seen with Renaissance on them make them appear purplish or reddish. I would think that most major TPG's now, except ICCS and ICG, would note it in the remarks section. Report this Post to the Staff
JHax Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 1:49 pm I'll bet you're right, Bill. In any case waxing is a personal choice and isn't a mandatory conclusion to the cleaning process. Report this Post to the Staff
