Here’s the one that was soaking:

It’s a common Constantius II/Fel Temp Reparatio, but at least I leveled up my zap-fu.

Stripped

I left this zapping for too long:

Fortunately, it wasn’t a good specimen, anyhow. Another is soaking.

And on, and on

When I zapped that last coin, I did do a cursory examination of the containers I had which hold the medium and very incrusted coins. That one I showed was one of the medium incrusted, and really surprised me how well it turned out. This examination led to that other post, the “coins of interest”, and I suppose one of these days I’ll get to it. I’d say the honeymoon is definitely over, but I think the marriage will survive as I continue on in my living and life. “Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone.” Cheers.

I just bought these:


Rather medium quality widow’s mites, for gift purposes (I have 4 others).

Of interest

I have set aside these as “coins of interest”:

I’ll see when I get a chance to clean some more.

Zapped!

Hey, I think I’m getting better at zapping:

Or maybe I was just lucky with this one. Haven’t checked to see who this is, so if you know, give a shout out. Yo.

Had this for some time, not doing much with coins right now. Maybe soon.
