In certain cases of light, I could see scratches. Being too lazy to resand it, I just polished it like, 3 times more:

RESULTS: Managed to polish out alot of the scratches! :clap: Nicer product, less work! :attn:

BTW, in the pics it looks silver-ish because of the lighting... Its actually copper I think... Very beautiful IMO.

Wow, you are a seriously desperate kid... I say earn it. Send me in increments of $20, and I'll see how many I can send.

If you are serious about this, pm me.

no i dont want to actually buy it (i dont have pay pall and its just a long procces and stuff.

but i will earn one one day i just struggle in school so to se some one do somthing like that makes me sad inside.
sorry just i thought u should keep it and once day you can show your kids or some one.
may not mean somthing to you now but later it will.

any way your life and ur living by the moment nice little centemental thing u did there and all none the less

[neonblingbling]

I dont like pay pal anyway... Money Order is easier IMO... ;)

But, this should not be disapointing. This is something my math teacher found in her closet the other day from years past that students did not claim, and was passing them out. I got this pin simply by being at the right place at the right time. I did not deserve it, so why cherish it? It is just a piece of metal... But now it can be a piece of metal with memories.

I personally take the test tomorrow. 7:30 sharp. I would rather have my nap.

BTW, these were the older pins, the one year when the test was getting its name changed from AHSME, to the AMC, thus both names on one pin. Oh well, before my time so would have been worth squat. But that piece of metal is no longer in my posession anyway. :)

A fair job of polishing. You need some better supplies like jeweler's rouge & a soft
buffing wheel I'd say. Of course, before you get to that step the surface scratches
must be removed with ultra fine sandpaper first.

Yes, I agree. It just happened to be stuff I had lying around... If I really get into this, I'd probably consider it. In the meanwhile, it does the job. :-/

Yeah man, it's all good. :)
Was looking at the heart pendant ... and was thinking you could get more bling bling
without those scratches by sanding it a bit more before polishing.
