I'm starting to think it might be you. [IMG]
Don't forget to take before-and-after photos! :)
Your best bet is to pick up a copy of the Whitman Red Book (A Guide Book of United States Coins). It shows relative values of nearly every US...
According to this excellent instructional post, it's 5 g of sodium sesquicarbonate in 95g of water. Or 50g in 950g, or whatever.
Very nice! So the initial soak was in VerdiCare? You didn't need to do any other treatments to get rid of the gum first?
Four-wire measurement would be better, of course, but I'm pretty sure it still wouldn't be good enough. I know I don't have the calculus chops to...

I'm sorry, but I've been seeing this thread for more than a day now, and I'm still seeing the title as "Fake Cheerios hemidrachms". It's starting...
Well, you can't let them figure out that they've got something. :rolleyes: The problem with BIN is that it only takes one other person spotting...
Which I'd forgotten about until you reminded me. :( But I forgive you.
