Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 05/13/2023 12:40 pm Thanks at @kam. Nothing is suspect to me regarding authenticity. Are you seeing anything concerning? I am considering a near boil wash of these to loosen the glue or acetone; I have had good luck on more modern silver coins... Any suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 05/13/2023 3:58 pm @spence, good question. The hole is more or less patinated the same as the surrounding bronze. I haven't acetoned bronze coins before so I am glad it looks better! I am not going to apply anymore. I am happy with the coin as is. Report this Post to the Staff
