Hi guys,
It's been a while since I've posted and I've found some great things recently and hope to post them soon. Anyways, I found this token last week and having others like it decided to try my hand at restoring it. I was going for a two tone look, since it is so difficult to see details on oxidized brass tokens you find in the ground. I used a dremel tool with a cotton buffing end and baking soda and water to flatten the background. The high points were lightly sanded with a 300 grit sanding block. Let me know what you honestly think and whether I've hurt the value of the token or not?

Thanks for looking!
