Group 3
Again – here are the coins as they arrived from Lee.
And the star of the group on arrival appears to be this wreathed
cross:
Results after the night of soaking and a bit of scrubbing – Step
one on the Experiment page.
In addition to the cross and wreath, there is another showing a
diadem and is slowly coming into view.
This group was then just doing the room temperature soak in
distilled water for three days. They
were cleaned and not much changed. They
were returned to the distilled water for two weeks with a cleaning in between
and still no significant change, however, the brown “crusty” pictured partially
above and in the next picture up where it is right next to the dime, did
develop two small chips where the “concrete” like texture is not as thick!
