Starting off, I owe you all a big Thank You...I came here 1 year ago and was recovering from a stroke... my reading and speaking has got better and my chaos has improved as well.... to a degree. Ive attached some photos of what's been paged and has put some order in place.... if the worse happen I'd hate to think what would have happen to these coins... The hammered coins (pennies) still cause problems for me and still there others to follow.... Sorry! 😟 once again a huge Thank You one and all for the support and clarification when assisting my queries, I wouldn't have been able to have got this far without it. Kind Regards "H"

To be fair, the chaos doesn't ever seem to subside. Sometimes you need to part ways with it for a while to regain the will to try and overcome it.

brilliant cheers Paddy i will have a look on there, just coming back with a quick update tried finding the "Hollandia" and i think you are correct but i can not find an exact match but some very close even the shape of the lions tail i had to give in on that (fo r now), you were bang on with the Srilankan (see attached) so thanks again for the pointers i will be continuing the quest in spare time and hopefully have updates in the future, I see you found them on the link (only just noticed the text by the link!) thanks again

My chemistry classes and background beckon, and they say, well that it is an oxidant that chemically further oxidizes the surface for removal of the top layers of the coin. Ammonia does not react with the metal surfaces so would in fact be less aggressive.
