<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 2936334, member: 82549"]Might be bronze disease, or it might just be corrosion that wasn't completely removed by stripping. My guess is that the coin was heavily corroded and recently cleaned via electrolysis or chemical stripping, then artificially repatinated. If the coin is going to exhibit bronze disease, now would be the time since there is bare metal that has only recently been exposed to air and moisture. There is also a touch of green on the obverse near the A in CAESAR.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, I think the coin is authentic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
