Now at least you can make out the details! Sweet! thumbsup01

Oh yeah! :smitten:

Terrific find! Congrats!!!! :beerbuddy:

Thanks Jeff. Definitely one of my favorites from this year. :yes:

I use electrolasis to get that green off all coins and it doesn't hurt the coins,I mix baking soda and water,it does a great job for me,hopes this helps and it only takes about 3 min.,,,,,,thats a very nice find,wtg.

Thank you JT. I did use the boiling water/banking soda and aluminum foil method to bring it to where it is. I could probably give it another go around and remove some more of the stain. At least the corrosion build up is gone.

Big silver is a thrill to find.

Thanks Joe. It is thrilling to pull out the bigger silver discs. :smitten:

erfect10:That would make a great month of coinshooting for me!
Congrats!!!

The cleaning looks like it turned out well!

It did. I tried the olive oil soak and scrape for a little while... but I got impatient and stepped up the cleaning a notch.

Big time congrats on that one Joe!!! :beerbuddy:

Thank you Tana. It was nice to join the Mexican 8 Reale club with you. :clapping:
