[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 265344, member: 487"] Top find, I'm pretty jel of that florin. :) Yeah as B5MECH said. Soak in Citric acid solution for about 5 mins then wrap it tightly in foil, you'll notice it get warm to the touch and will make a bit of a crackling sound, this is the reaction taking place, next you'll noticed a rotten egg gas smell and the foil will start to desintegrate. After the reaction has taken place, roughly 5 minutes then un-wrap it and rub with bi-carb to shine it up and neutralise the acid. The 1884 shilling I found the other week came up shiny after doing this, it was black from oxidisation when found. Hope it works nicely. Again, what a find, well done. :) [/QUOTE]
