I just won this coin for $12 at the Ancient Peddler auction. It hasn't been shipped yet but once I do receive I'm planning on trying to clean it. It's possible this coin will be very nice if I do a good job on it.

You have some careful cleaning to do.

 

Wow Gill, looks like you might get a great coin out of it.

 

PM PishPash for the witch's brew that will get the mineral deposits off without damaging the patina. Just be careful not to blow your house up.

 

You're not calling PP a witch. Are you?

 

I would never!

 

Funny guys. lol

PP the Witch contacted me. He beat me to the punch. Haha.

 

Looks like it will be nice if it cleans up well.

 

Pishpash is a she.

 

Thanks for the correction, my friend.

 

I'd like to see updates in this thread. Also, I'm curious about this witches' brew.

 

You will see updates later. It will take some time. I have to receive the coin first of course.

 

Ummm, didn't Pishpash light herself on fire while she was cleaning her coins?

... I'm just sayin'





... just jokes, my dear

 

Really?

 

No! I was cooking dinner

 

This reminds me that I still need to get an ingredient for one of my uncleaned coins!

We can be thankful that you didn't end up like this burn victim:

 

Me too!

 

SHE'S A WITCH!
