Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 01/04/2018 5:43 pm Thanks for the extra information! To answer the question: it was Found with the metal detector. The coin was even more corroded when it was dug up. The black oxidation is difficult to remove. Any suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff
1c5d7n5m Pillar of the Community Belgium 1185 Posts	Posted 01/04/2018 5:59 pm no I have no experience, sorry would be reluctant to remove anything because you will remove contrast from the central part of the coin curious that the metal around the text are less corroded is there an explanation? or is this coincidence?
