You might try to flick off a piece with a pin around his face just to see what happens. Edited by Biancasdad 07/26/2016 09:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/26/2016 09:27 am This coin has some heavy environmental damage, the large spot by the face appear to be active bronze disease. It should be removed, but I'm afraid it has already damaged the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Makanudo Valued Member Serbia (Srbija) 66 Posts	Posted 08/02/2016 03:48 am Here is what I came up with after applying my limited knowledge of coin treatment. I am reluctant to take it further, but I think better job can be done. Wether it is pheasible, I do not know. Report this Post to the Staff
