Since the 10 Pf. of that era were steel-core, there's probably no way to clean it. It's more interesting in the current state. Edited by KurtS 08/07/2008 4:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

This is what the coin would've looked like. Unfortunately, it's too far gone to clean. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
