Draped bust wit da boys

Jim the coin looked like a good candidate for the water soak and heat lamp trick but surprising there was no crusty peeling taking place , so I just gave it a hot peroxide bath and worked on it with a q-tip. i didn't go to long as i wanted to keep some of the nice patina it had.
If you seriously want to treat us to a group hunt soon , i'll give you a shout for what weekend I'm free. Thanks Jim
Dan

Hmm.. I guess I can see it looks like peroxide from the spot above the bust and around the words "ONE CENT" but seeing as none of my coppers looked that good after a peroxide bath I was thinking it was a different cleaning method.

I knew you said it as a joke before on here, but since I confirmed here and also sent a PM on social media I figured you knew it was for real. Sure I put a lot of jokes out there might make it hard to tell which is serious but you can crack the telfon code or algorithm to tell when I'm being serious in a joking manner. I can assure you it is still easier to figure out than to understand a woman. :lol: Sure you notice I get out alone more often than with a buddy, but that was due to how hard it was to set plans for a week away. I kinda needed a day advance for taking a work day off, but weekends It was hard to tell 4-5 days in advance how I would be feeling. With using discretion, I compiled what I read on the matter and realized what it will take to rectify things. I will add that I did see first hand on the joke our system is here in the country and how it's all about the $.


MangoAve, what site and cleaning products are you referring to? Interested !

...the Noble Roman Coins had some products. Cleaners and ways to reintroduce patinas.
 
That is a beautiful Draped Bust Large Cent, Dan! :loveit: You can see every strand of hair on Lady Liberty. It must have been dropped not long after 1805. Boggles the mind, especially to us here in the midwest who rarely find coins that are 200+ years old.

I'm glad that you were able to hunt with Drew and Brian, and that you found some nice keepers as well. :thumbsup02:
 
Congrats on getting out again Dan, and agree, hunting is always better w/friends than alone. LC is looking great by the way. 3 indians...heck, I'm excited when I get 1!
