LOL, Gold is not an extreme! It is a QUEST.

 

I have one Okidoki it is Cilicia, Aegeae, (117-118 AD)
Athena standing left SNG von Aulock 5449, Prieur 714,
toned.

 

very nice indeed, golden toning

 

Yes Okidoki it is unusual for a silver to gold tone, wish I could sell it as a 10gm gold coin.

 

My favorite western of all time and I have sort of a gold coin.

 

Thankfully, Okidoki already had one of these because I was very happy to welcome this coin to my hoard of Alexandrians

The red is a powdery dust which comes off easily. I'm going to give it a brief soak to remove it.

 

Very nice Winner here excellent details i am happy it commes to a good collecters home.
Enjoy

 

Love that coin, Tif, very nice!

 

I quickly rinsed the Hadrian in alcohol this morning and did a quick reshoot before work. Some but not all of the powdery red stuff came off.

Different light-- bright morning sun. Yesterday's pictures were late afternoon sun + Ott light.



The metal is actually fairly reflective in many lights but I tried to minimize that in the pictures. Generally though I don't mind when the fields are bright but I know some of you prefer no bright reflections.

 

So alcohol and acetone are good ways to clean billon of dust/organic deposits? I ask because I may be getting into billon coins and want to know hot to care for them.

 

I used rubbing alcohol because I couldn't find my bottle of distilled water. I've used it before on Egyptian tetradrachms when I had a batch of potin tets which had been "enhanced" by something resembling women's makeup.
