[QUOTE="fomovore, post: 4715159, member: 72663"]Thank you all! I'm inclined to trust your experience, but a few questions: The marked areas in the attached pics 1 and 4 - those look like flow lines to me. I thought of crystallization as well, but that rough surface is inconsistent and too chaotic. E.g., a flat band surrounds the portrait and is flatter than the rest of the surface - attached pic 2. Most of the "crystallization lines" are curved whereas crystallization is usually linear if I'm not mistaken (pic 3). The edges (pic 5) are heavily corroded in a way I've never seen on silver denarii (even debased).[/QUOTE]
