Seller's Note/ Talk about soft dirt? When arrived, there was just a trace of patina showing on the obverse. The dirt looked soft, so I scratched it (dry) with just a finger nail. Before I knew it, this was is the result. Whoops, my bad! Add a dab of water and the dirt instantly turns to soft mud. Too easy to clean, folks. When done, wax, buff, and Bob's your uncle. ;-)
