[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 2978974, member: 85693"]Well, you guys were right. The Aurelian Tet. did deserve a chance. I baked it for 20 minutes at 400 degrees per ValientKnight's recommendation (thank you, VK!). It took a lot of the green off. I'll do another round in the oven on our next pizza night. Might try some Verdicare too, but the oven seems to be working - I am curious to see if I can bake my problems away here (it works with cookies and pizza, so I'll try it with coins). The appearance is improved, although as I figured, the pitting has been revealed, especially on the obverse; but it was there anyway. The reverse look much, much better. Thank you all for your encouragement (and some scolding too - learning can be painful :oops:). Here it is after baking: [ATTACH=full]732566[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]732567[/ATTACH] Thanks again, everybody.[/QUOTE]
