<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2629413, member: 74834&quot;]This denarius has been sleeping in my father-in-law&#039;s collection for 40+ years. He bought it in Maestricht, 1972, for 85 Dutch guilders, quite a lot of money in those days. </p><p><br /></p><p>It acquired a patchy patina (or maybe the patina is even older). Should I remove it? And with acetone?</p><p><br /></p><p>The denarius is from Faustina II, with Fortunae Muliebri reverse. That means (both words interpreting as a dative singular): &quot;To the Female Fortune&quot;. Apparently an uncommon coin and the only one with this reverse legend. 18 mm, 3.43 gr. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]578334[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
