Look what was lying on the Transfer Floor, in all the garbage juice, soup, slurry. The cocktail is so potent that it eats away the souls of your boots. The coins were being run over by all the trucks, scraped against the ground. Got about 30 coins. Had to do a little conservation on the one. I believe these are canadian, I'm not positive though. With out further ado. Here is 2 of them.

These are the before shots of the Obverse & Reverse
I ran 2 480sec cycles in an Ultrasonic Cleaner, Then used a QTip Soaked in KoinSolve and just kept rolling it over the needed areas,
Obverse

Reverse

Came out a lot better than I thought it would. The Scratches are from where the loader pushes the garbage into a pile. Either got trapped under the blade of the loader and concrete floor. Or pushed into something.

I also used Verdi Care after the KoinSolve to protect the surface so it doesn't come back.
Heres some others, forgive me if their not Canadian.

Wow ! Fantastic job of restoration. The first 3 coins are British. Nice pictures too.

Don't think any of the Canadian coins (commemorative NCLTs aside) features the Britannia on the reverse. Beautiful coins and an amazing job cleaning them up though! had to double back and read the post a second time to make sure it wasn't 3 different coins you were showing in that first entry
