And I Did It Myyyyyyy Wayyyyy

If I told you I would have to ........

Never mind

Message me. Procedure is not fool proof.
I have outlined the process before to negative reviews.
But I will give details only to a private audience

Sorry

Green surface nodules are not BD. Most bronzes will get a green oxidation unless they have a hard surface patina (sometimes green !).
In this case the goal was to remove most if not all of the surface material.
I must confess I actually feel asleep and woke up with quite a start when I realized 3 hours had elapsed.
I feared the 'wurst' !
Fortunately the coin survived the ordeal.

A very good result and an excellent coin!

Wow, wonderful job!

FR - I'd love to know your technique for cleaning. I'm still experimenting - I bought my sonicator, and a lab shaker.
I'll send you a pm

O.K. I am just a beginner here but how did you get Galerius out of Maximianus?

I haven't learnt this yet?

(PM on the way on the other.)

The emperor Maximianus was raised to 'supreme' power by his friend and fellow 'Generalissimo' Diocletian. When the tetrarchy was formed each emperor took on a junior 'Caesar' to do the heavy lifting. Galerius adopted the name Galerius Valerius Maximianus. On his coinage as Caesar he is referred to as Maximianus Caesar. Later when he became a senior Augustus the title read GAL VAL MAXIMINAVS AVG. The simplest thing to remember is that the senior Maximianus never held the rank of Caesar. Ergo any coin with the legend of MAXIMIANVS CAESAR is Galerius !

I remember being confused by the titles myself when I was younger !

Before and after using FRs method




Needless to say I am very pleased. Thank you FR
