Group 2
Again here are the coins as they arrived from Lee.
And the star of the group on arrival appears to be this wide eyed
Emperor:
Results after the night of soaking and a bit of scrubbing step
one on the Experiment page are not
too bad especially with the Emperor which is starting to show more
silvering and no its not in the reflection.
Patience will be used with this one, since a silvered coin I destroyed
earlier
We are now seeing another coin emerge with a lot of detail in the
hair and face sorry its not showing here macro photography with the
digital is a new frontier.
These were then soaked for three days in sunshine water and after
three days of sol induced warmth.
After that there was a scrubbing, and returned to distilled water and
sunshine.
Now a small editorial jars of coins outside and an 18 month old
do not mix well. In the two weeks of
exterior soaking, I had to replace two jars and heavens only knows how long the
coins just sat drying in the sun.
The coins were cleaned and there was really no noticeable
change. So, having olive oil on hand,
these coins were tossed into a small baby jar with olive oil.
