I wouldn't mind using distilled water. I have not been to the store in a little while, and I am not sure when I will be. I will check it out...
Since some people wanted to see the rest of the batch, here you go! Most of them are hard to read. The first coin is the one I posted on the...
Thanks for that. I did not think so far into the science behind it, but now that you say that well or spring (I used the spring water) is already...
That's really great, and it sounds very fun. I think you're right, that ancient collectors connect knowledge and things with their coins more than...

[ATTACH] You probably know better than I do, but I circled the region that led to me making that comment. At first I thought they were just...
I am not an expert in this series, but I would give it an MS61 or MS62. There is a mark above the sun, and especially in the fields in front of...
Yay! Nice coin.
Fair enough! I think it is more of the glare that can throw people off. It only looks a little blurred too me, but that is just imo. Also, looking...
Pointing out exactly where you see something is always helpful. On the reverse, are you referring to the bumps in the columns? They could be die...
