Thanks guys! thumbsup01

:shocked04: :shocked04: :shocked04: Amazing !! what a great bunch of history !! eace: eace:

It is fascinating to think about who may have held the coins last, and how they may have been lost. :yes:

I'll let you know how it feels as soon as I find one in good shape. LOL

Every time I talk myself out of buying an E-Trac you post a picture of these great finds....which is every day. Will you please quit confusing me. :hammer:

lol lol

Sorry Frank. :cheesysmile: I'm trying to get her to lock on to silver instead. lol

Angel, what a hunt. Those two beauties are gorgeous. erfect10:. Your finds are an inspiration to all of us that are floundering around out here. Keep diggin em, love reading your posts. Huge congrats

Thank you Al! :beerbuddy: They really are gorgeous. :smitten:

Its not to often we pull multiple large cents from the same hole... but to pull out that look like that...

Angel... you are amazing !!

Paul

I know! :shocked04: I have had a few like dreams, but to actually experience it is sweet. :drool:

Angel you are pulling out Large Cents coin spills like the rest of us pull memorial cents spills! :drool: Congratulations I love the old coppers just something about them that reeks of history!

They do scream 'history', don't they. :yes: Those surely were lovely designs they had on the early coppers. :smitten:

If you look at the dirty picture of the Geo II, you can still see 174 and I think the last digit my be an 8. So 174_ something lol Dan should be able to tell us if that profile version matches the estimated date.

I can just about make that out too. :happydance01: It's not in great condition, but at least much of the detail is discernible. :yes:

Hmmm... I'm starting to wonder if maybe this Angel guy knows what he's doing.

Mind blowing finds, just mind blowing!

lol

I just swing along stumbling into things. Fortunately some of those things are old coins. lol

I'm just speechless as always.

All I have is WOW!

mg:

You should have seen my face when I pulled the first one out of the hole. :shocked04: Not a pretty sight. lol

I'm thinking that you are underestimating yourself. :yes: Thanks Rob! :beerbuddy:

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

What is more amazing is the museum quality cleaning you gave those coins. (Maybe restoration is a better word)

Do you mind if I ask the steps you performed in the cleaning process?? I like the Renaissance Wax as a final step-But dying to know what you did...

Congratulations!! erfect10: erfect10:

wow mg: Angel , Shame on you \:hammer: \:hammer: ... picking up two beautiful women like that at one time . :eyebrow: who else feels very inadequate , raise your hand

Great couple of early large coppers Angel , they don't get to much better . huge congrats |) |) :clapping:

Thank you for the compliment. :yes: The fact that the coppers had a slight amount of soil on them, as well as limited corrosion, did help. :embarrassed: Caked-on soil would have given me fits. lol

I did not use any water at all. Given the slight amount of soil on them I cleaned them by using a coin conditioner, applying the liquid with cotton swabs (Q-Tip) to remove most of the dirt. It took several applications, gently swabbing the coin from different directions, especially targeting areas where the soil was embedded. After that I allowed the coins to dry. After drying I applied more coin conditioner, followed by a another drying period, until I was satisfied with the results. The conditioner does add a protective coating to the coin. Once it is completely dry, off to a 2X2 the coin goes. :yes:
