[QUOTE="clembo, post: 558617, member: 8033"]WHAT?!? Has Clembo gone mad? Of course not - that happened years ago. So what am I doing. Subjecting some extremely nasty Indian Cents to electrolysis. Experimenting basically. We get some really rough looking coins at work. As in so much crud that they are barely identifiable. Still, we buy them and they go into a bag of "ultra culls". So Sunday a friend drops buy with his "kit" to show me. What the heck let's make one for me. Monday I took some VERY nasty looking Indians home and started playing. Hey, I just wanted to see what would happen. I took an 1892 that you could hardly see the date on and removed SO much crud and verdigris. Course it's not good for the coin but it was already a lost cause. Would share pics but my computer is on the fritz till I get it fixed and that's the one hooked up to my scanner. Now BEFORE anyone gets any ideas do some reading. I don't suggest doing this to ANY coin of real value. You'll most likely LOWER the value of said coin. For me it's just an experiment and I have a pretty good supply. Just sharing the "mad scientist" side of myself. clembo[/QUOTE]
