[QUOTE="Tassie Daz, post: 130275, member: 334"] Hi Westaus, It occurred to me that perhaps I should have taken a photo before and after but no I didn't take one. What I can do is try to find another coin at this spot and take one then. I'm sure there will be more coins at this spot. What I could do is ask you to imagine a penny, encrusted in green oxide so that it is about twice as thick is it should be. That's how these coins started out, and with soaking and periodical scraping with a Stanley knife to remove what was softened, I have been able to get them back to a reasonable "look". They wont ever pass as fine or very fine, or even UNC, but they are now recognizable. Sorry for the lack of photos but I have a hassle getting photos up loaded to this site. [/QUOTE]
