Thanks for your grades on this and the other 5 coins, much appreciated. I had this one earmarked for a gentle restoration from the start so here is the outcome. An acetone bath, a soft pick with a soaked bamboo needle and a coat of Verdicare. Then two days out in the elements. I'm happy with the outcome, a marked improvement on the grotty original. It's still a VG-8, but no longer cringeworthy. A proud addition to my Channel Islands group. I also found it interesting that the 8 doubles and 4 doubles have variable orientation. An enjoyable coin type. Thanks for looking. TT The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
