turtlefoot Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 8:33 pm Picked up this coin a while back. It measures 17mm and had been way over cleaned at some point in the past. This is not a big area of interest for me, but I did want one or two in my collection. Thank you for looking. Doug Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 8:46 pm Congrats on the pick-up, Doug. Among the half dozen or so areas that represent "what if's" for me (areas I was tempted at one point to start collecting, but in the end did not), are Ptolemaic bronzes. I can definitely understand the allure. This is a site I have referred folks to in the past for bronze disease control: http://kevinscoins.ancients.info/BD...Disease.html Report this Post to the Staff
