Cleaned coins

WD40
must totally stink out the place
does the coin now stink of Wd40??

yukkie - i don't want to try it but i KNOW that curiosity will get the better of me!! ha ha

Stink ? you bet, done in the Shed.

After "Treatment" no smell or residual.

For the coin that I was trying to save I added
a thorough rinse in metho before the acetone bath.

This is the coin I was trying to "Save".
I resisted the temptation to use mechanical
force to remove some of the crud.
The TH of Elizabeth has a tiny bit of crud still.

I'm happy with the end result though.
Before Treatment:(Direct Sunlight not smart)

looks much better - maybe now just need to seal the surface and it might hold up for a few more years - well done!

Good jobs so far PR :good: I should do some more on mine :dash1:

I scanned the rest in today Ausjack, several really do need a clean. When they are seen at this size now Its so evident to the old eyes,as I haven't seen before. But everything after George V, I  have multiples to play with, a few of old Vs too. So a sort through and maybe find better in the old shoe box. Here's the rest of mine. I put them in set by the Royals. Incidentally, they are totaly hand collected from circulation by me. I'm missing a 25 that I had stolen from me, and funnily never had a not so rare 26.
