The only thing I'm not doing is drilling the relic. I'm thinking of using a rat-tail file to get through a bit of rust so I can get good contact with the metal. Great video too!
Yeah I heard others say too, I can live with a small 1/16 hole. Just easier to me but I am not really a purist in the sense as I clean my silver to make it display,,shhhhh dont tell anyone. :omg:
Wait a minute.... you rub your silvers? Don't tell anyone or you might get banned! LOL. I'm like you. I like to leave as much patina as possible unless it makes the coin display poorly. This 1637 coin was so black and I couldn't get it off so I used .000 steel wool to shine up the high spots just a bit. I gave it some contrast and now I think it displays very well.
