<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 1900399, member: 44210&quot;]I received the two pieces of the coin today. Unfortunately either the travel must have been rough on the package or the seller damaged it further when handling it because as soon as I (lightly) put the large piece in my hand, part of the edge broke! I didn&#039;t know it at the time, but that particular piece would be one source of my trouble when putting it back together.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin&#039;s thinness and shape complicated the reconstruction, as I tried a couple of different ways on applying the super glue, without any success. And despite it only breaking off an hour or so earlier, the edge piece was not fitting evenly into the space it detached itself from (for the record I was attaching the piece correctly in relation to the rest of the coin). I finally settled on using a q-tip to apply the glue, and with great precision I reunited the three pieces back together.</p><p><br /></p><p>The edge piece still didn&#039;t completely attach the way I wanted it to but this was the best I could do and frankly I think I did ok for my first coin reconstruction <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/charlesobol_zpse622a4e6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
