I can see way more details and even an eye and shape of a head now. It seems that the simple reality is that many coins that are sold for so cheap dont have much detail to begin with and missing legends and all. So i would not stress about them. I see it is a fun and simple addition to the collecting hobby, even if some of these coins are "ugly" to some, I find the little details that I see very satisfying and gladly added them to my collection. Some coins do in fact look better when left as-is with the dust/dirt showing the details more in its own unique style. Good luck, gentle friend.[/QUOTE]
