Last month I cashed up $180 in 1/2’s the look on the lady’s face was priceless reaching for the hand sanitizer. She looked like I put a dirty diaper on the counter. She did it under protest lol :grinning:

I used to soak them in vinager & salt, kinda made them look a bit better. I’ve heard mag wheel cleaner gets them real shiney again but have never used it myself.

Went for a hunt at a new park for a few hours today. 1 & 2 cent pieces, old 10 & 20 cent piece. Two pennies a 1907 & a 1947 and find of the day a Victorian half crown well worn and dinged no date but circa 1840/1887, yes :grin:

That’s a good payday Cosmo. Three rings in a day plus cash and silver Vic’s has got to be good.
Well done.
