Good luck everyone.

I'll submit my 1874 gothic florin since they're always a bit special, found on the 1st and posted in my usual thread. Going to leave the obverse covered in horn silver I think, I like to preserve some kind of aspect of the condition in which the coin was found and the reverse had very little on it so was easy to take off.
