Stand back folks, I'm in the never ending contest again!

Just ordered a group of five for the never ending uncleaned coins contest. It will be my second entry, my first was tragicallu destroyed by fire (don't ask, painful subject, heh).

So, who's up to a challenge? Who will join the current round who hasn't done so yet? ;D

I've had my coins sitting here for the last month or two but my camera is in the shop and has not come back yet (just stopped working). So until I can photo them - my 5 will just have to pine away in the drawer until I can photo them. Then I'll have to clean them. So I may miss this round.

I have a bucketfull of slugs and uncleans which I will try. If the rules are simple, even I can take part...!

This probably needs to be moved to the Never ending cleaning competition pages - but as for the rules - you must read the following as you can not "enter" your own coins:

My coins have been soaking for several months now...I have a feeling most are slugs...but I am holding out hope that some are just heavily encrusted with real hard dirt and might product detail, still cant tell quite yet.

Ave!

I bought a lot of uncleaned coins for the contest from Joe last year and they were excellent. But I never presented them for show. Humble me, I thought I had an unfair advantage.  ::)

LOLOLOLOLOL!  ;)
