This little Greek coin was going fairly cheap, with blurry seller photos. I took a chance and I won it for US9.60, 2.00 to ship. I guess that's OK.

Here is the coin when it arrived and then after I worked on it a bit.

I'm not really one for cleaning coins but the oxides on this one bothered me so I thought I would see what I could do.

Do you all think I should stop here or work on it a little more?

I would like to get the monogram below the horse to stand out more but this green stuff is stuck harder on this side than on the reverse.

The letters are Π N K but they are all connected together so it makes a cool monogram.

Regards
