    Hope this photo bucket link works This is my CH1 1633 cast medal. I’ve shifted away from currency coins to historical medals but still centred around the English Civil War...

    The trick to this is to _always_ use a 'pick' that's softer than the metal/alloy of the coin. Using something made of steel is quite a risk. On bronze this is easy- any old bit of soft copper wire that has the end shaped will do the trick. Re-patinating is tricky with bronze, since it's less reactive than copper- raising the temperature is the key. Sliding the coin into a fluorescent lightbulb that's base down and on a lot keeps the coin at about 45-50˚C, thus speeding up patination- six months as opposed to years.... Clean the coin with alcohol first, keep fingers off it, and rotate it regularly to get the air to the surfaces evenly. Works beautifully.

    Had this one for a while. Not sure if it has been displayed before but it fits the bill as a toned coin. My own grading is Abt.UNC/MS61 any feedback would be appreciated. Has to be said when you are presented with a coin like this it will be a long time before you will find another unless you are very lucky.

    DNW are going to spoil my Christmas one way or another. They're selling a fantastic token collection December 4th. If the estimates are anywhere near accurate, I'll probably spend too much and we'll be eating baked beans on the 25th. If some items take off the way I believe they will I'll probably be sulking until February. https://www.dnw.co.uk/auctions/catalogue/results.php?auction_id=506

    Totally agree with Nons on the wordpress recommendation, I do exactly the same. It also helps with posting pics on here, I just copy/paste them into a reply such as this one! Here's another newbie I'm quite pleased with, could do with less bag chatter though ...
