[QUOTE="Ignoramus Maximus, post: 7615181, member: 104741"]Looks like you managed to turn a disaster into an unexpected win, [USER=87809]@cmezner[/USER]! That tet you have makes me wonder if perhaps I should start cleaning coins as well!:smuggrin: I like the portrait and love the reverse. FWIW, you shouldn't feel bad about cleaning the Annona; it was ruined well before it got to you. I've never cleaned a coin yet, but a few days ago I did notice an outbreak of BD on this Augustus restitution as. Really bad news and a sad first for me. So, for the first time, I'm trying my hand at fighting an outbreak. Bought distilled water and toothpicks. Rinse, repeat and hope for the best. Here it is before: [ATTACH=full]1310807[/ATTACH] The green on the obverse seems stable and is probably just patina. The innocent- looking green spot above the S on the reverse, however, is a totally different story. Like I said, I've never fought BD before, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I like the portrait...[/QUOTE]
