Napoleon III 5 or 10 centimes depending on size, they were minted at the Soho Mint in Birmingham using the same blanks as the 1d and 1/2d and were "tolerated" as coins over here and so are a relatively common find but always a nice find if only for the design Wink

Thanks Geoff. Quick question thou.
What would be the best way to clean these coins with minimal damage. I have in the past soaked them for a few days, then gently used the wife's toothbrush. The bronze and copper coins tend to be very fragile due to degrading. I have not boiled them in oil as yet ( although I think the wife might if she reads this) would this cure the degrading?
The silvers I use spit and silver foil, which does the job.
All the coins and artefacts found on this site will be given to the land owner in a display frame, as he was good enough to ask for the area to be searched, and will be hung for the residents visiting his estate.
Thanks in advance.

Looking at it it looks to have a case of bronze disease this is nasty stuff so don't store it with other copper based items as it can and does spread, you need to get rid of the light green powdery substance then several good rinses and bake it in a hot oven to dry it then seal it with either shellac or renaissance wax this will work at slowing it down but if moisture manages to get to it then off it will go again, the only real treatment is to soak it in a solution of Benzotriazole.  Wink
