    Anybody know how to get the crud off - you can see it especially in LIBERTY.

    I've been thinking about using a soft toothbrush and plain water to work out the crud.

    Suggestions?

    Even though they have already been cleaned to all heck and back, I still would not suggest attacking the surfaces with a tooth brush.

    Yikes! They've been cleaned? What tells you that? Please be specific.

    Remember that these pictures were taken form my camera and I'm not so good with lighting and such.

    The color is absolutely wrong for coins with this amount of wear.

    I know that the pictures are not true in color as to what they really are.

    I'm still fiddling with my camera and lighting. It is very frustrating and makes my back ache.

    Other than the color, what makes you feel that they are cleaned?

    The surfaces do not look natural.

    Well then, I know that they are not valuable in the sense of collectability. I got them super cheap. I saw them and wanted something from that time period that would have historical meaning. I still like them and wonder who might have touched them through the years. They are genuine - correct?

    They look genuine enough.

    Oh, another question ( I hope you do not mind )

    What would cause the white spectacles and black yuck stuff? They look superficial and not in the metal.
