arty: Nice way to open your predecimal account! Reckon it might clean up ok with a soak in lemon juice and a rub with bicarb paste.

Got my florin out today after a night in the lemon juice and its good compared to when I found it , still got the green patina but the front is totally legible , any one know where I can get a plastic coin thingy with pockets in it (lol) to put my first buried treasure in..?
