    Is nail polish remover acceptable for acetone, if not where do you get it from?

    Hi new collector

    Sleepy replied to Iainm87's topic in Beginners area

    Hi Iain and welcome only started really collecting myself a year ago, and only join the forum a week ago. Found the best place to get coins for beginners is ebay, got a 100 old pennies for £6.50 last week, most were in a shocking state but a few nice ones including a 1912 Heaton mint (one of the penny aficionados will most likely explain) which in theory covers the 6.50 spent, and the rest forms the basis for a penny collection.

    silver dipping

    Sleepy replied to Komisaruk's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    OK getting a bit away from dipping what about general cleaning, I don't mean an attack with the wire brush and vim but look at this half crown, there is obvious crude/rust/stuff around the lettering (look at the H in half) would you try and clean it off. OK it's not much of a coin and some might say best for the bin, but needs must etc.

    Thanks Stuntman, now that I have the bones of a collection (British pre decimal to 1816) I'm going to start and concentrate on the quality a bit more.

    My first attempt at showing my coins and as we are only talking toning and not quality here's a couple of half crowns!

    Anchor is assayed in Birmingham, Lion is Sterling Silver, H is 1932 K would be 1934 and JWT is the makers mark for J.W. Tiptaft.

    A polarising filter might help reduce the reflections!
