Yes buddy I would agree that the coin has been harshly cleaned.
I have to go along with Jim, what you want to do can't be done. That coin is extremely corroded and there is not 1 thing you can do about it. And...
You know what really amazes me ? You don't need other people's opinions on the subject. All the factual evidence you could ever want is right in...
Yes and no. Contact mark is a kind of inclusive term that covers a lot of things. Contact marks can be in a wide range of different shapes and...

As you can tell from that image Doug there are quite a few sets of coins on those trays. The Queen is 86 or 87 years old now, but from what I have...
