Cleaning Coins

On the face it reads..
FOUR GENERATIONS OF THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY....DATED 1897.
On the reverse..
TO COMMEMORATE THE 60 YEAR OF HER MAJESTY'S REIGN...DATED 1837.1897.

I don't even know who the other faces on the medalion are either:rolleyes:

Hi Paladin.

That's a nice find! There's one on eBay, item number 200217215432.

I'd also advise against cleaning it other than removing any surface dirt. An old coin should always look old in my humble opinion.

Whatever you do don't use Cillit Bang as it'll destroy the copper.

Ant.

 

thats nice init :rolleyes: an i dont wanna upset you but cos of the hole in it it will be worth a little less :( but still id by it

 

All that work for £4.99................ but on e bay it may go up a penny or two..

 

Better just to keep it, its intresting and will only increse in value.

 

And that one looks rather battered methinks...:D Bids start at £10:thumb:

 

Yeah but its got a hole in lol id keep ur eyes peeled fer owt else :D

 

If u want it like new get a fiberglass pencil the sad thing is now pennys wont last for future generations to find :(

 

Don`t clean it Carl. Anything that you use is bound to be corrosive. Best bet is give it a rub with a duster so it doesn`t rub off, put a chain through it and keep it for yourself.


Things aren`t found-they are put in your path. Not trying to be spooky, but there are more things in heaven and earth.....................

 

Shame it's not worth much, it looks quite cool :D

 

The worth of saomething is on it`s value, not its price. Shame you don`t have it Carl.

 

lollipop.. I like your way of thinking,and it's not spooky at all

 

couldnt agree more :thumb:
