[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 4617116, member: 75143"]This is an example of a semi-failed clean. They don't always turn out the way you would hope. At first the obverse had a rather nice portrait, but the reverse was heavily encrusted. [ATTACH=full]1143482[/ATTACH] After, although I managed to recover the reverse, the obverse was obliterated and pockmarked to death. [ATTACH=full]1143483[/ATTACH] METHOD: overnight soak in lye solution, and minor attacks with prick and dental pick. [ATTACH=full]1143485[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
