<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ShannaS, post: 2729650, member: 85144&quot;]Hi Greg, the redness is encrustation and not corrosion. It looks like a very nice coin and as someone mentioned in an earlier post you could have the coin professionally cleaned (mechanical cleaning) if you wanted to risk it because underneath that corrosion is possibly great metal HOWEVER that is a risk that most people do not want to take. Most are very happy with an original patina which this clearly has. I will say that I support having an expert eye look at the piece because bronzes are incredibly difficult to buy over the internet. You might ask the seller to send you additional photos from an iphone from different perspectives and have someone help you to decide whether the coin is good or not. I do know this dealer and they are okay in my opinion.&nbsp; I&#039;m a dealer myself so feel free to reach out if you have further questions.&nbsp; I&#039;m happy to answer them and assist in any way. Warmly, Shanna Schmidt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
