<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2556143, member: 74282&quot;]Nice denarius, Doug! Looking closely at the photo I can believe that the copper is actually above the surface, but without any explanation I would probably believe it was plated as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>The following victoriatus has something similar going on on the surface, particularly on the reverse. I purchased it in this state from an eBay seller who apparently tried to clean it but was not able ot make any further progress. It&#039;s currently in the hands of an expert coin cleaner I know. He said the surface has a layer of some sort of copper or zinc compound that is requiring a combination of chemical and mechanical cleaning to clean.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]550292[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s unfortunately still not done but I will be sure to share an &quot;after&quot; picture when it&#039;s finished.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
