Report the error. I have reported a few of them and they were fixed rather fast.

Great coin, I love the detail in the reverse. Hope you can get that junk off of it.

I am curious as to what picture you were going to post for me ^^ but good to see you are so optomistic that it can be cleaned up.
Whatever it is on the coin it is very hard and gritty, and I dont want to be agressive with it...
I need to buy some more acetone so that I have enough to actually submerge the coin for some time to see if the acetone can penetrate and loosen it.
I am only half convinced it will dissapear because if it was easy then the person who originally cleaned the coin would have removed it.

That's a nice one--the obverse looks better than mine from the same Taxilla mint. I hope the crud comes off. Incidentally, mine came from the UK--it was just under £50.  |

Is it me or does the OP coin have a legend error a backwards second "N" in Menander. Hum... Who bungled that one?

AncientNoob--another nice coin! Interesting to see the different styles of Athena by mint. Good eye on the legend--interesting and understandable error, particularly if the engraver may have not known Greek.  |
