Oh no you cleaned it, now it has a decreased value!

What year is it

Also, your avatar looks a lot like a Buffalo nickel.

It may not have increased in value, it has not decreased. The coin is dated around 302-303AD.

That is a sharp looking coin. You can count the hairs in his beard.

Did the actual color of the coin get a little browner after cleaning, or is that just due to lighting?

I believe Normic67 was making a try to be humorous Pish.

Excellent results. The lighting is different which makes the results harder to gage but overall it appears all but perfect.
VF+ without a doubt.

The secret sauce recipe was given to me by FR.

In the hand the coin has a greenish silvery appearance, the process has not changed the colour. The first pic was from the seller.

FR I know Normic67 was being mischievous, I forgot to put a happy face on my reply :) :)
