Thank you! It will be donated to our county historical society, due to them giving me permission to hunt a historic sight. Still a lot of land to cover, going back next week. Can't wait

That coin came out of electrolysis in amazing condition. I thought for sure there would be some pitting due to corrosion, especially on the obverse..

I'm not that familiar with electrolysis but am certainly now interested. I know that people use different setups though...what kind of setup do you have on your rig?
It looks fantastic!
