I got 20 Ancients today from a fellow I buy from regularly, or whenever I can. I've got them soaking in olive oil and when it starts turning green I'll take em' out and see if the crud comes off with a little electrolysis treatment. http://www.dirtyoldcoins.com/restore/electrolysis.html Bone
Bonedigger, You know I'm anxious to find out what you got..and maybe help you with identification. How long does the process usually take?
Mikjo, They will be in the oil for about two weeks (hard to wait) then the zapping only takes a few minutes. Bone
Is the seller on-line? Do you have an internet address for them? I've been wanting to try that, but have not known where to start.
Bonedigger, thanks for the link on do it yourself electrolysis. Must admit, my first reaction is to be reminded of all the warnings not to drop toasters, hairdryers, etc into water
Does he sell State Quarters as well? Only kidding. Thanks for the tip. I have been leaning in this direction for years now but have yet reached into my pockets to balance out the desire.
