Yeah. The glass on this one is pretty beat up, but in a way that makes it look pretty. Still, to keep from harming it more I'm cleaning it real softly, with just vinegar and water. I think the gunk on the inside is caked in mud or clay or something. I'd be willing to bet $10 it was found at the bottom of a river. I'm hoping that it'll soak enough that by Wednesday, I can clean it enough to post better shots to Pubski. As for the coins, I've heard plenty of horror stories like that before. That's part of the reason when I buy stuff, I buy stuff that's worth a little something cause it looks good, but not so much I'd have to worry about responsibility, ruining something, etc. I can't imagine what I'd feel knowing I devalued something.
