[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 473232, member: 11952"] I've been working on this coin for the last two days, cooking it in lemon juice and olive oil repeatedly and taking down the crust bit by bit which worked quite well. I got impatient half way through and switched to a foil and bicarb paste rub which sped things up a lot but also reduced the top layer of horn silver to actual silver and armoured the stuff! Luckily there's a boundary layer of crud between the silvers most of the time so I was able to crack most of that off. Should of kept going with the lemon for a couple more days. It turned out to be an 1816 in the end: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/11952/1550953731_capture.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/11952/1550953741_capture2.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
