[QUOTE="Tassie Daz, post: 131064, member: 334"] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/334/1423095883_coated.jpg[/img] There a five coins here. The 2 middle ones are from another source, but the three outer ones, the 2 pennies and the halfpenny are the ones that were heavily coated in green oxide. They have been soaked in diesel as the post suggests and then carefully scraped to remove the green gunk as it softens. The three are a KGV 1911 penny, an unrecognizable Roo penny and a 1922 KGV halfpenny. As I said before they will never reach collector status but they have cleaned up enough for me to be happy with their appearance and to get their years from them. Sorry about the quality of the pic - my little Olympus C120 doesn't take a close-up real well. [/QUOTE]
