[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 7476165, member: 110226"]This follis is quite encrusted, with rough surfaces. It has been a difficult coin to photograph, and I am not sure if the Ren Wax treatment has enhanced it, so I would like your opinions. I can remove the wax in an acetone bath. Here's the coin before treatment: [ATTACH=full]1294270[/ATTACH] And here's the coin after the application of Ren Wax. The lighting for this photo was lower (cloudy day), making it appear darker. I did adjust the lighting setting in Photoshop to make the coin somewhat brighter: [ATTACH=full]1294268[/ATTACH] In the hand, the treated coin appears shinier than it was before the application, and viewed that way the encrusted surfaces are not as intrusive, especially on the reverse. There are a couple of spots on the reverse, on the right part of the "M" that are quite hard, so I do not suspect bronze disease, although I have keeping an eye on it. I should mention that before applying the Ren Wax the was soaked in olive oil about a month ago. Thanks![/QUOTE]
