Jerry, I can't argue that point. In my defense, I think this is a coin I got in an unclean lot and is why I don't buy them any longer.
However, poor me. But thanks to everyone else (not Jerry) who commented so positively about my Licinius I from London.

From the image, I'd say the coin looks good now and so I'd stop cleaning it. Although, maybe you think you can improve the coin some?

It is one of the nicest coins, condition wise, I have owned Steve. Which comes back to the original premise of this thread: there do seem to be quite a few Licinius coins available that are in outstanding condition. James Edited by jamesicus

I can't believe how many awesome Licinius coins are being posted, this is great. Don't think I had seen a realistic portrait of the guy before.
