To Read Dates on Old Coins

Not every possessor of old coins from
which part of the inscriptions is obiter-
ated knows how to make the inscriptions
temporarily legible, SO as to ascertain
the date and value. You can do it by
placing the coin on red-hot iron-an or
binary fire shovel for example The
parts where the letters of the inscription
once existed oxidate at different rate
from the surrounding parts. says the
Youths Companion. The film of oxid
that covers them has different thick
ness, and therefore reflects a different
color from that of the adjacent parts. In
consequence. the obliterated letters take
shape and become 1egible. The inscrip-
tion. which is of greenish hue when the
coin is hot. disappears as it cools.
