Bill: I can understand. I've done it too and fortunately avoided scarring a good coin. You seem to have a spot so sweet we'd all die for(welllll, maybe get near death). Just wouldn't want you to compromise anything you'd regret later. Silver has it right too, based on the laments of a few of the Brits here. Wouldn't want you in the same boat!!!Silver Searcher said:Don't worry Bill I do it all the TimeBill D. (VA) said:DMN said:Finding those hammereds has to be the best!The only thing running shivers up my spine is the way you are rubbing those coins to clean them. Bring a little bottle of water and a soft cloth or toothbrush and you'll avoid scratching them. I say this only because you'll compromise a really good coin and scratch up an already had to read one. Since they are scarce enough to find here there is some real value in them as a historical object as well. Sorry about ranting some; just a real scary sound hearing that finger rubbing those coins.
Keep the pics and vids coming. Those are some mighty finds and site you have there!!!
I couldn't help but notice myself the crunching sound which seemed to be amplified in the video. I'm usually pretty good about not doing that, but guess I was caught up in the moment and with doing the video and everything I was just off in another world. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, and I'll try to do a little better next time.the only thing you have to worry about, when rubbing between fingers is snapping one, Tuder Silver coins are usually good Silver, not like early Hammerds that snap when you just look at them
