Soaking a coin I pulled from the belt bin today. pics up

Most of the stuff I pull from the melt bin I list on ebay but anything I pull that has under 100K mintage I tend to keep for myself. Todays find was a 1894 Norway 2 Kroner. Ill get some pics of it once I get all the green off, the beading around the rim makes it quite time consuming.

    There were five other coins in the batch that must have come from the same collection as they all had the same pvc development on them and someone had tried to remove it a bit harshly, BV for the whole group I picked out was in the $600 BV range all for $88 of silver. Only problem I have with finding this stuff is I dont want sell it most of the time and now have quite the accumulation.

    Sorry those were the results of the first soak. I was able to get the last bit out from around the rim with 3 soaks, wasnt sure at the moment if it was worth it. Oh the coin was bright green and even smelt musky in hand, but got the slime off.
