<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 4912236, member: 19765&quot;]Yeah this Medal is completely ruined, it was ruined to start with and now it&#039;s even worse!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Honestly, I could have sent it off for professional conservation but it&#039;s not worth it for me as the value isn&#039;t there.&nbsp; Most people don&#039;t even know who George B. Soley was and the collectors who do know about him don&#039;t want a ruined Medal so luckily I have another as I showed in the pics above!&nbsp; As far as Soley goes, I have made an Album of his designs above in the Gallery.&nbsp; This was a good learning experience for me as I learned two things.&nbsp; One, sometimes Medals or Tokens have damage from a chemical reaction and nothing can be done about it, period.&nbsp; The other thing I learned is MS70 is a terrible product to use on brass, bronze or copper as it makes the metal bleed, not sure why.&nbsp; It&#039;s a shame that the Medal is ruined but it&#039;s not like it was valuable or anything! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Soley is the guy who minted all the little 13mm Prayer Tokens back in the late 1800&#039;s, see pics!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1184920[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1184921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1184922[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1184923[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1184924[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
