All coins within a hoard become affected to a greater or lesser degree by post deposition elemental effects, for instance if water had gathered within the pot along with (typically) the past 50 years of intensive agro-chemicals then these coins will suffer corrosive effects upon them.</p><p>The coins surrounded by others generally tend to fair the best, Pishpash&#039;s looks to be one of them and he&#039;s ended up with a very nice coin that has had an excellent restoration job done to it.</p><p>The skill is in removing those deposits to uncover the original tone or silvering without causing damage, nice job YOC![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
