Hadrian was the best match I could find in terms of portraits. See: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/..._0561b.1.jpg Next best were Vespasian ( http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...RIC_0102.jpg ) And a less common portrait of Nero ( http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...RIC_0086.jpg ) Report this Post to the Staff

The cancer appears to have spread beneath the very thick layer patination. The oxidation layer will be flaking off and the greenish spots will be growing. Sorry to break the news but the prognosis is pretty bad. You might consider entombing it in acrylic. Report this Post to the Staff
