What looks like
dirt on the Ant in the middle row is actually silvering. Going to hit some
of these coins with the silver brush and then the 6 micron radial wheel,
especially the ones that are like sandpaper. Scans will follow below (of
the sandpaper as well as the ones that are done).
The coins that went back in to soak are 32.4g.
After a silver brush, 6 micron radial wheel, soak in alcohol and Renwax,
here are the 4 that are finished to me. A couple more should be done tomorrow.
The silver brush and radial wheel made the concordia militvm smooth as silk,
which is quite an improvement over the sandpaper texture it had.
I decided that removing the rest of the green encrustation on the one concordia
would probably just damage the coin further, so I left it on. The two early
coins seem to have a partial brown patina, so I'm going to let them soak
a bit more. I have no idea what the non concordia coin is, I don't recognize
the ruler, though the design is familiar. Will have to try to id that one.

Coins look much
better in hand than scans (still haven't perfected scanning). I have no
idea what the scan is picking up on the chipped coin, I don't see the dirt
or whatever it is. Dirt on top right coin is silver, not dirt. Obverse of
top left is porous, as well as the bottom reverse part from the green encrustation
that I left. Bottom left coin has a chocolate brown patina, don't know where
it is getting the patchy green from lol. The two large Ants came out
beautifully. |
