Neat matching pair of problem coins

Half sisters, I guess!

Corroded for sure but look at that detail!!

 

Both came from the same seller. I think its kind of amazing that they have AU+ detail and have the exact same look to them.

 

Kind of like they were side by side in the same hole in the ground.

 

I imagine they were in a tin box, buried and forgotten.

 

Didnt you say you were gonna use some kind of Macgyver trick to conserve the one?
Let us know what happens !!

 

I did the best I could do already with Verdicare. With surfaces like these, there's only so much you can do. 1. Remove any gunk. 2. Stabilize the surfaces.

 

Oh wow, i guess i didnt remember what the before looked like.
Next question- what is something like this worth in current condition??
I dont personally collect these, and if i did i would probably want problem free.

 

Good looking ground finds. A lot of meat on both

 

Probably $400-800 each in this condition. If you want this much "meat" on problem free coins, you'll be spending $6k minimum.

 

Very nice strikes. The corrosion doesn't really distract that much for me, at least in the photos. Nice conservation!

 

It’s closer to $2000 for the 1814 and $1500 for the 1803, but oh well. Nice buys
