I know about destroying rare coins by cleaning but,
A few small drops of Olive oil over the verdigris will
gently lift most of it off without destroying the patina.
Let it soak for a week wrapped in light cloth.
Stop when you can make out the date.
Good Luck...

 

[B5MECH]

Thanks Doug, will definitely let it soak for longer
Can't expect 80 years of dirt to fall off in 2 days so will avert back to patience

 

[SinHof]

An interesting mix of finds there B5MECH, get gridding over there mate.
Cheers, SinHof.

 

[B5MECH]

Thanks SinHof, I think I got to wait for the garbage around here to be emptied seems to be overflowing in the spots I want to be :lol:
Just when I finish picking up all the surface caps the buggers here go and buy another pallet of beer and start flicking caps at each other again :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Goldpick]

Pulled out a few good pre-decs mate, the corrosion on those coppers usually leaves deep pitting on the surface of the coin once the oxidation is removed, bit of a 50/50 on whether they are worth cleaning at times.

 

[B5MECH]

The coppers are usually toast around here GP, but the one now is the question of is it or is it not :/
It doesn't look like corrosion hiding the magic 0 but it's hard as, almost makes me think it's copper deposit growing on it to ruin the coin of the year find :lol:

 

[Danny13]

Hope it's a 1930 B5 , it looks likely mate

 

[sully67]

cheers sully

 

[B5MECH]

The beach failed so had to get my goldie fix :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[silver]

Nice little fix B5, very inspirational indeed.

 

[SinHof]

Evening B5MECH,
Great to see you are still pulling some goldies, north of you the scene is pretty quiet, particularly the beaches, quite a surprise given the beach traffic in recent days.
Enjoy New Years Eve, SinHof.

 

[B5MECH]

Happy New Year SinHof
I ran the makro down the beach last night for $2.60 and 2 sinkers :lol: hoping that changes soon
Had a look at one of the main ones that is near and the place was almost empty today
Bring on the new year traffic
