But I need to know for sure. Follis Maximinus II 312/313 A.D. Unfortunately only links. Photos for some reason are not displayed. I apologize. https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...&oe=5E5385ED https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...&oe=5E22C2A0 Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 3:23 pm Those thick green chunks suggest that it was in contact with other coins/copper based material while it was in the ground. Coins welded together with that stuff are a nightmare to get apart, so I understand why a bit of overcleaning happened here. Report this Post to the Staff
