Hi everyone,
This is my first post here. I have spent many hours reading the various sections of this
forum in the last few months.
I have been collecting coins for many years, although I don't have a big or
rare pieces in my
collection.
Coins just attract me in a particular way and I don't know exactly why.
However, I've just recently bought a lot of uncleaned coins, nothing special from a numismatic perspective but really important to me. The idea is to protect them for future generations.
At the same time, I am pretty sure that some of these coins can be improved to show more details, but too many doubts at the moment.
For a quick example, I left this coin in a solution with distilled water and baking soda for 3 weeks circa, changing water any 4 days and gently brushing with toothbrush every now and then.
This is the result.
I am not an expert, but it seems that details can be improved.
Now I am wondering if I need to use another solution to soften the surface or to clean it mechanically.
It would be
good to have some
good advices.
Thanks.
