"The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
For undug coins this is true. For dug coins this is untrue.
The value will increase with judicious cleaning."
Goes4ever,You have killed the coins this year! And your relics are also great! You can tell that you have put the time in to it with your finds and the great cleaning jobs you have done with your finds.Somthing (cleaning) is what I would like to get down to a art it is difficult for my stuff as the salt water put me in a mess for getting them to come out fair all the time.But they say practice makes perfect so I'll get it one day maybe. Although somethings just not much to be done to.Never typed with you much but would like to wish you the best of 2010! (family included)
Take Care,

Holy cow G4E, 2009 was VERY good to you!!!
An amazing year. I can't believe all of those silver coins.
There is a story in this recent issue of W & ET by Lance Comfort (spelling?). I think your heal plate matches the one in his article.
Congrats & have a great 2010 season too,
