Third, I'm going to recommend to the mods that your thread be moved over to the ancients section of CCF so that we can more eyes on it. I'm a little concerned about the bright green areas of this coin as this may be bronze disease.

davidmichalak New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/29/2017 4:02 pm Thank you Spence, Not sure if the green areas can be easily cleaned or not. I didn't want to damage the coin by cleaning it, I am certainly a novice. Beyond that one link, it has been difficult to find more information on the coin, I'm not 100% sure that the description is accurate because when google searching I find coins that fall under that description but look different. For example, finding lots of coins that are similar, but have the lettering around the eagle like the front of the coin, and without the LS on the eagle side. Anyway, yes, more eyes would be great. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 07/29/2017 4:13 pm Yep I agree that moving slowly to clean your coins is alwayus a good idea. With bronze disease, the damage is permanent and progressive (and catching--you should isolate this coin from your others for now I think). If you use the search function in CCF, you will find several prior threads discussing this condition on ancient coins. Here is an early one that is one of my faves: http://goccf.com/t/61519 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
