IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36878 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 6:06 pm Another newp. This looks like a great coin BUT, I don't like the green spots. Any suggestions for removing the green junk on this coin? Claudius II gothicus antoninianus. 2.67 g, 20.4 x 21.4 mm. Obverse: Claudius II right. Reverse; Victory with wreath and palm branch left.

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 7:00 pm A hard to find type, especially with that level of detail. Generally, leave the "green spots" alone. They are not the result of Bronze Disease, but from this coin being amoungst others in a hoard, and getting this "encrustation". It is part of its long history. Report this Post to the Staff
