Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 12/24/2011 3:34 pm I got this little coin yesterday. It had come loose and I almost lost it when opening the package. It came from a nice gentleman in Spain who kindly re-listed it as buy it now just after I had missed the auction with no bids. I'm not sure if it was found in Spain but it makes sense it could of been. I don't know whether to clean it a little bit or not. The dirt might be the only thing making the image show up. To clean or not to clean? It' very small.....10 mm, 1 gram....hard to hold on to. Here is another official Constantinopolis I just got to upgrade from the SMKB that was in my set. Only two away from having one from each mint and each officina. Happy Holidays everyone Report this Post to the Staff

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 12/24/2011 6:37 pm I agree sometimes when you remove the dirt it looks worse. I think it looks just fine the way it is. Nice coins I especially like the brown official next to the barb. Report this Post to the Staff
