wow! what an amazing NJ Copper Don!

You have the opposite soil than we do in this region. Your coppers look amazing, but your silver coins are often coated. By us the silvers look great, but the coppers are generally shot.

I love that strike on the NJ copper. Glad to hear you are feeling better.

I would vote "banner" but I don't wanna hafta see another one up there until I get mine!

Nice work on the cleaning. Who says you can't clean rare coppers

Even though it ain't no stinkin' 5000 dollar gold coin or ring, it should be on the banner just because its so damn nice. I vote banner.

Neil is right, you have sonme great soil where your digging... My old copper finds are a mess...

**bookfisher** · Apr 26, 2012, 10:08 PM

After all these years looking at your finds, I'm still blown away by the incredible condition some of them are in!

I soaked in warm distilled water for about an hour after the peroxide bath and than dried thoroughly under a desk lamp.
