What is your opinion of my little Farthing? There is definitely something on the coin but not as obvious as my photo shows it.

    Looks nice. Give it soak in EVO for a couple of days and gently caress with a cotton swab - it should remove the stuff the bloom on the obverse.

    That is a GREAT piece!

    I'm interested to know how you get the oil off after the soak and swab? Just soap and water?

    Nice coin, now I have another series stuck in my head as collectible. Farthings... image
