<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2424269, member: 56859&quot;]Yes, but you didn&#039;t show all of the coins.&nbsp; In your original post, the first picture shows the reverse of four individual coins, each with jugate busts of Nilus and Euthenia facing right, regnal year 2 (of Claudius II, I presume).&nbsp; Where are the obverses of the other three?</p><p><br /></p><p>I see no reason to doubt the authenticity of any of the five coins shown in your post #10 of this thread <strike>except for the fourth one, although I think it is probably authentic but with a somewhat different style of Isis.</strike>&nbsp; Edited:&nbsp; whoops, the fifth coin&#039;s reverse is Selene <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second and third coins appear to have active bronze disease.&nbsp; These Roman Egyptian potin tetradrachms are very susceptible to that and will disintegrate very quickly if untreated.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had a few that were lost despite my best efforts at treatment.&nbsp; The fourth coin has some verdigris which could become bronze disease.&nbsp; As a matter of routine, I treat all of my Roman Egyptian tetradrachms with a distilled water soak, dry, and application of Verdi-Care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
