What type of restoration is this? Looks like the holes got covered up with some kind of ugly paste? Report this Post to the Staff
Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 02/25/2018 05:40 am The "holes" was a tear at the edge of the coin. It was repeared by heating this part of the coin a bit. The "ugly paste" is in fact the original silver Report this Post to the Staff
Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 02/25/2018 05:51 am Ahh ok.....Never seen this before...interesting.. Is this process commonly used to repair medieval coins? Its not my collecting area but I know they can sometimes be quite thin and fragile.. I assume in time these areas should tone back into the rest of the coin then? Thanks for sharing..great to learn something new.. Paul Report this Post to the Staff
Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 02/25/2018 06:39 am It's the less interfering repair process in restoration (according to the restoration bureau). You don't add something, but use the materials already available. If you take a closer look on the first photo's, one can see the S is already a bit damaged. These photo's are just a bit more sharp.
