I found a 2 and a 4 reale today. the two is especially nice because the cross is perfectly positioned to be mounted in a bezel, and there is a lot of detail on the other side.. I won't know what the four looks like until they hit it with electrolysis. it is amazing how different the conditions can be for two coins that went into the water on the same day.

Now that's a nice coin! Maybe you can explain how they do the electrolysis. Does it sit on a charged grate? Etc. Looks like they know what they are doing.:yes:
 
Very cool, don't think I would ever pick up that second coin and say "hey a reale" :grin:
