I know, cleaning silver coins is sometimes frowned upon but with this one I had no choice. For the most part I like my silver coins to look silver. This is the Victorian 50 Cent that I found yesterday as posted yesterday. I had thought it was a large copper and was about to relegate it to the junk coin drawer but a little checking revealed it to be a silver 50 Cent...something I have not found until now! As found, I could not read the date and could discern the barest of details. The iron oxide was extremely tough to remove but when finished I had a nice, somewhat worn, large silver with a clear date! Here are the before and after pics of the find. Thanks for looking!
