Could be - hard to tell. Looks like SECVRITAS REIPVBLICE, which is one of her three reverse types.
Good choices, particularly the last one. It doesn't look like the deposits would be difficult to remove - they're quite minor. I wish I had a...
Hey, I'm not brawling! :) I'll leave that up to the US collectors (of which I'm a part incidentally, except for caring about point differences.)...

Oh well, I wouldn't have fooled with it myself - no expertise in that department. Btw, I bought a coin from you recently, my Theodora AE15: super...
That's quite unusual and very interesting. I would have preferred that the hole hadn't been plugged on this coin. It wasn't done well and it...
