Cleaned the 1723 silver...

[Bavaria Mike]

I cleaned the 1723 silver coin. It is from Bavarian King Max Emmanuel (1662 - 1726). Cleaned up well and is in very nice condition. A tedious clean up job of picking with a toothpick and short dips in a liquid silver cleaner. Here’s the after and before pictures. Obverse.

Reverse, my light makes the silver look red toned but it really retains a shiny luster.

This is what it looked like before I cleaned it, the reverse side in the picture and the obverse was even worse. Had I not cleaned it, I probably would not of been able to ID it but I had a good idea, LOL! HH, Mike

Hey Mike.......Those are some great finds! Silver coins dating back to who knows when, are excellent finds. I have a question? Can I trade the German coin for one of those ancient silver pieces!!! hahahahahaha Only kidding! Thanks again guy. WTG

To think that coin is as old at the US is awesome. Your probably the first one to touch it in a bout 3 century's!!!

Now that is old silver and great condition, just wonder how many people have walked on top of it?

 

[DANGLANGLEY]

That is one very nice coin....I would an ambulance if I found that, lol.....How did you clean it so good without hurting it?

man thats sweet...can't wait till I get something that old (oh yes, it will happen lol)

 

[Bavaria Mike]

Thanks for the great comments, the coin turned out very nice! I do not usually clean them much but after living in a field for almost 300 years, the collectors value goes way down due to the scratches and all. The thick patina on this coin saved it from wearing and scratching. I will not clean the coin from 1303. HH, Mike
