Dutchgulden Pillar of the Community Netherlands 1204 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 2:23 pm I just bought a coin of Uranopolis, struck around 300 BC. Its overcleaned but it still has a nice appeal imo. Made a bid and got it! Only 20 euro's which is good for such an old coin Region : MACEDONIA City : Uranopolis Metal : Bronze Denomination : Ae 16 Date Struck : B.C. c. 300 Diameter : 15.2 mm Weight : 3.2 g Obverse Description : Star of eight rays representing the sun Reverse Legend : ÎŸÎ¥Î¡Î'ÎÎ™âˆ†Î©Î Î ÎŸÎ›Î£Î©Î£ Reverse Description : Aphrodite Urania wearing chiton and peplos seated facing on globe, star on head, scepter in right hand Edited by Dutchgulden 08/26/2013 2:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I don't think baking it is going to make it darker. If anything you risk flaking the remaining patina off the coin, and then you will have junk. Report this Post to the Staff
