[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 4956140, member: 100731"]Nr 7: [ATTACH=full]1191345[/ATTACH] This one was obviously difficult. The encrustation on the obverse was more than 1mm in thickness, and below the copper deposition was a thick layer of iron oxide which is very difficult to treat. In the end, all encrustations were gone, but at the cost of some minor pitting, mainly on the obverse. Accidentally, the oxalic acid solution became too hot, and the coin became very dark-red, which was removed by gentle rubbing. Nr. 8: [ATTACH=full]1191346[/ATTACH] Fairly easy to clean. Nr. 9: [ATTACH=full]1191347[/ATTACH] The main problem with this coin was the thick deposition on the obverse, at te radiate crown. Overall, the coin was somewhat rough. Nr. 10: [ATTACH=full]1191348[/ATTACH] Not really happy how this one turned out, but I had to be careful, as the coin seemed very fragile.[/QUOTE]
