[oberkill]

I got the coins in the mail Friday and have just finally got around to finish cleaning them. I should have had enough time by now to come up with a great acceptance speech but I havnt. lol Coins came quickly and packaged well and definately uncleaned, I really am impressed with Danimal's cleaning skills because I cant get them even close to his pics! I will get some pics tomorrow but for now here is the list:

A nice 194? merc
A 43 Silver war nickel
A bunch of 40's and 50's wheats (I need to check a few 55's)
and the following wheats: 16, 19(2), 26, 27(2), 34(2), and 35(2)

Thanks again guys for the great contest and prizes!!!!

You're welcome Alan and here's how I clean them.
If not a valuable date I either swab them with a q-tip soaked in ammonia (ala Nate and Mirage) or I use dishsoap and a soft brass bristle brush and do it that way.
After cleaning a quick soak and wipe w/Olive oil.
