Title: 1817 Half Crown found on beach Post by: Zeus (Joel) on November 04, 2011, 11:22:01 PM i've spent the better part of 30 minutes trying to get this clean. The best thing that has worked is rubbing in foil. Will this damage the coin if i keep doing it to get it a bit better looking?

Post by: Chef Geoff on November 04, 2011, 11:53:24 PM No it should be OK Joel as the foil and water will only react with the silver sulphide and not the silver, however it looks as if it's nearly clear of and surface deposits, if you mean you want it shiny then polishing it is a form of damage as it removes some of the actual coin.
