The '25 penny came out of the ground black with spots of heavy green encrustation. Had no option but to strip the coin back to bare metal, which left some pitting on the obverse. It then underwent a fairly lengthy process to re-tone but I’m happy with the end result.
The Holloway token has been stripped and re-toned but has light pitting all over its surface due to corrosion from being in the ground for 150 yrs.
The Parker token has only had a scrub with a toothbrush and warm soapy water.
