Very interesting information, as always!
Many thanks to those who have commented! I will try this with some nicer coins I have with PVC damage. How long do you tend to soak coins? Yep,...
Very cool. Interested to see what VAM they are
By soak do you mean leaving it in there for longer? Like overnight?
I appreciate the lengthy and informative response! I have quite a background in chemistry so your reasoning makes sense. For some reason my...
Wow! I've never seen a Greek coin so small! How cool.
Exactly what I see.

That is certainly a doubled die. Look at the spread on IGWT. There's a number of these, and I've never been very good at attributing them.
Wow. Really nice. Giving me second thoughts about how to display my coins haha
