<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2713482, member: 76194&quot;]Caligula tried to make Incitatus, his horse, a senator.

What two finer consuls could you ask for?</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] , yeah, I knew when i saw it that it was mineral deposits. It was obvious even without testing it. Plus I trust you wouldn&#039;t let a coin that obviously infested pass through your expert hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s not to say Verdi-Care won&#039;t reveal questionable or weak patina for what it is, and some of it might be good enough to even elude the experts. Like the Gordian III AE you sold me, the green fell off with Verdi-Care (with the exception of a few thicker mineral deposits on the obverse, but it definitely wasn&#039;t BD as it was hard and there was no damage underneath. Most likely lose mineral deposits that just needed a gentle cleaning to come off. I figured it&#039;s just like those dark denarii that brighten up in acetone or denured alcohol, as some of the dark coloring was probably dirt and old oils from tobacco smoke and handling, or lose materials.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
