ancient67 Valued Member France 331 Posts	Posted 03/11/2018 4:49 pm Waouh, it's condition makes it almost impossible to say anything. Even with an identification, the coin won't be of great value in its present state... Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34448 Posts	Posted 03/11/2018 11:23 pm Ron, any thoughts on how @antetini might be able to salvage this coin to see if any remnant detail might be uncovered? Perhaps several weeks in a bath of olive oil? Or, would you start right off with something stronger? Since this appears to be essentially a slug of bronze, I'm thinking that more extreme measures could not hurt the value.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/12/2018 08:02 am Dave, honestly I don't think anything could be done to improve this coin and be able to ID it. The surface is just too corroded. Report this Post to the Staff
