[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 2737080, member: 77226"]Hi all, I have this small coin from Carthage... it has some mineralization covering much of the detail on each side. I seem to remember that there are some here that have methods for removing these deposits while not stripping the patina. I'd rather leave it than ruin it but I was hoping I may get some cleaning tips beyond distilled water and a brush. Additionally... If anyone knows an attribution or reference for one of these around 16mm and 3.2 grams, I'd appreciate it was well... All I'm finding is references for similar coins twice the weight or more. [SIZE=4]Zeugitania, Carthage AE16. 3.2 grams Head of Tanit left, wreathed with corn, wearing earring Horse standing right, looking back left, foreleg raised.[/SIZE] Thanks!
