You can ask me why.. Answer is really simple - that bust is extremely rare :D Moreover, coin is possible to clean (I think). Who know what is it? ;) Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 11:31 pm By the looks of it, this coin has already been professionally cleaned, after recovery from ground burial. To make any further attempt to clean it will run the serious risk of damage to the patina, with a loss in it's currently attractive appearance, and a reduction in value. Do not clean it!

Maybe RIC#862 A var?....I know @maridvnvm is a big collector of Probus hopefully he'll be along and will have some answers for sure! I agree with the others 'Dont clean it!'
