Message:: [QUOTE="SeptimusT, post: 3009828, member: 91240"]I wanted to get some opinions on this. I know the coin isn't 'attractive' at first glance, but I bought it because it was a chance to get a Roman Republican litra at a good price (<$40, sold and shipped), even if it was more a ghost of what it had once been. There's still excellent detail if held at the right angle. I knew that it had probably suffered from bronze disease in the past based on its pitted appearance, but the seller assured me that it was not suffering from any bronze disease and had a good, stable patina. Now that I have it in hand, I see that the circled pits on the reverse are all filled with powdery residue. While I have reached out to the seller to inform them of this, I haven't decided yet as to whether I should ask for a refund, a discount, or what. What would you all do, were it in your hands?
