[QUOTE="TheCollector, post: 644405, member: 22938"] Found an entirely green coin on the weekend which I've never seen before (I'm new at this)... had delusions it might be a penny, and my 1st PD! - but it felt like 20 cents. Upon inspection (without glasses) I thought I could make out "20" in just the right spot, then remembering PhaseTech's post I went to some clear water and rubbed it with sand, and would you believe, after a few rubs most the green came off, and yes it was 20 cents. Dated 2020, hard to believe it can deteriorate that bad so quick. Re-reading the post just now he says use sand from the [I]bottom [/I]of the hole (where it is so much finer)... I used sand on top, and oh dear I've rubbed most of Her Majesty's face off... live and learn, or maybe read the whole post next time? ;) [/QUOTE]
