Hello, These all came off the floor of a Transfer Station, They were being run over by the loader, If that weren't bad enough. A slurry of garbage juice coated most of them. That stuff is so corrosive it eats through the soles of your boots after a few months. And when it dries Forgetaboutit, Luckily they were recovered when they were. Its almost as if someones World Coin Collection was thrown out.
Restoration Process, involved 2 480sec Ultra Sonic Cleaner Cycles in Distilled water. Pat Dry then applied Koinsolv with a q tip, rolled it over and over the problem areas, . After they were acceptable I did the same with Verdi Care, To protect the surface's. Both these products are great. Take a look at the first coins before and after.

I posted the Roosevelt to show the fate of many of the coins. I cringe thinking about what could happen. The crud is like concrete!

EEEHHHEEEMMMM its restoration. Cleanings such a dirty word.
I got yas. I wasn't sure if that 1919 was shot I'm glad the loader didn't catch it too good. Anyone know the names of any of these, I will be putting in some research time, I't give me a good starting point. I'm glad you like them.
