King George II

Here is a 1734 King George II copper I found a couple of weeks ago . some before cleaning , after an initial cleaning and a final cleaning pictures . These Coins here in the northeast are not uncommon to find , and most are not rare or very special so i decided to use a new tool on it . Its called Eurotool a pen like fiberglass brush and i was very nicely surprised at the finished look . honing your cleaning skills on the "average or common coins" will help you save those scarce or rare types .

Nice work Dan. I'm gonna have to have Santy Claus get me one of those Eurotools. :thumbsup01:

Great looking coin. You did a good job on it. CONGRATS

Thanks gentlemen . I was pleased how some of the finer details came out pretty well . like the ribbon at the back of his head and the X in REX. see his eye and facial features differences in the highlighted pictures.

:shocked04: That's amazing Dan !!! Great work on giving King George a facelift . I would never have believed results like that could be possible .:thumbsup02:

Very nice! I can see how that could be useful on other coins like some of the old toasty Indians. Thanks for the demo!

This eurotool now needs my attention. Your end results are great. How did you hear of this???

Al , I'm always on the look out to find better tips and tools to help with cleaning coins , especially coppers . I read about these some months back and ordered two of their "scratch brushes" (what a name to a coin guy huh? :rofl:) the nylon one and the fiber glass one but this was my first real serious test . This King George I really didn't think would get much better (second picture ) so I figured "ah I'm not going to lose too much sleep if I make it worse" . the nylon brush is much gentler than the fiber glass one . since this post i did an 1833 matron that was covered in a rough textured look and the coin is more appealing now .

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be ordering these soon.

Great copper! Excellent job on the cleaning

That is one heck of a result Dan!
I have a very similar tool I used to use for cleaning corroded circuit traces when I repaired electronics back in the day. A Precista 267 manufactured in Germany.

Nice, Dan. Good results. I might have to invest in one of these things.
