<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2211672, member: 19463"]The surface appearance strikes me as a sign the toning is deeper than surface. Is this from sulphur? I do not think it would clean well but I am no expert on that! The reverse is the standard Consecratio which comes in eagle and funeral pyre types. My Divus Antoninus is a type common to him (but not to other rulers) with DIVO PIO in dative case 'to the divine Pius'. Wear on this one makes it no more than aVF either. We will never know what the slabbers would grade it. Coins that appear so different point to the need for better grading systems. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]432167[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
