maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 5:44 pm I have never seen a patina like the one on my Probus on any other coin. It is not like green crusties and seems to sit one the surface rather than being a patinated surface layer. It has a slightly greasy feel. It is not like any Jax treated coin that I have seen. It isn't easy to remove and I have tried a few techniques. At the end of the day I believe the coin to be legitimate but the patina to be false. Martin Report this Post to the Staff

Dionysos Valued Member Canada 472 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 7:04 pm There was an article in the Celator back in 2006 I think, with a detailed analysis of the alloy of some of Monneron coins. It concluded that they were indeed genuine. Report this Post to the Staff

Macrinus, 217-218 28 mm. Struck at Nicoplois ad Istrum. Magistrate Agrippa (not the famous Agrippa) Artemis advancing right, drawing arrow from quiver and holding bow, hound leaping at her side. -- Warren Report this Post to the Staff
