Won these large cents off of ebay all in separate auctions. Soaked in acetone now ready for their Verdi-Care bath.   |

Looking good. Is the '46 cleaned or is it just the lighting?

Very nice. I don't even see a reason for Verdi-care but it won't hurt any?

I don't even see a reason for Verdi-Care but it won't hurt any I give all my large cents the Verdi-Care treatment. For some reason I used to have them stapled in 2X2's and they all got greenish crap on them. So I soaked in acetone and gave them a Verdi-Care bath and they look wonderful! |

Nice. Side by side the 35 design is so much prettier than the 46-48. The later design looks so heavy and clunky. Nice selection Mark. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
