<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5179679, member: 19463"]If the dealer sent a coin with bronze disease, he should deal with it. Without pictures or detailed description of the symptoms we can not tell if we agree with you and it is quite possible that the seller will say there is no disease and would want to see it before reducing the price. Many Alexandrian tets have green in the cracks and many of them are BD. Others are stabile. If you can not take a photo, perhaps you know someone who would look at it and confirm??? You could submit it to NGC who would refuse it if they see BD. You might ask the seller if he will pay the costs IF the coin is rejected but you would be out the fees if they encapsulate it. I would return it as is and now. You say you like the coin and there are coins rare enough that you might want to take it and treat it. I bought this Volusian (Emmett 3686 - R5) knowing it was infected and treatment left an ugly mess. Bronze disease treatment removes 'bad' metal and does not replace it with 'healthy' metal. I considered it worth the $10 considering this is the best portrait on an Alexandrian of Volusian I have seen. $250? That must be a very special coin if you are considering keeping it with BD. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1212361[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
