Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 04/13/2012 7:37 pm Nice. For the longest time I did not have a coin of Vetranio and then I got two nearly at the same time. One is from Siscia like yours and the other is from Thessalonica (the larger of the two at 23mm and 4.0g). Neither coin was overly expensive. Your coin has very nice details. I take it that is verdigris. Can it be cleaned or are you leaving it? Report this Post to the Staff
MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 04/13/2012 7:56 pm Yep it is vergigris and not BD thankfully. I have not decided if I am going to clean it up yet. I think it is still quite attractive as is. I can't be too picky with these rare emperors. :) Report this Post to the Staff
