[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 7838393, member: 75143"]A while back I got a batch of fourree denarii. I've never been too interested in them, but sometimes you can get some cool/rare types for cheaper than a regular silver version. This is a rather interesting ARAB ADIAB reverse with Victory lugging a trophy. [ATTACH=full]1347902[/ATTACH] Started off with what I thought were some minerals, but turned out to be rather flaky and powdering bronze disease..... I was soaking a whole ton of other coins in sodium hydroxide at the same time, so I just tossed this in as well and hoped for the best. [ATTACH=full]1347901[/ATTACH] Fortunately, the lye had zero material impact on the surfaces or details, and killed off all of the active BD. There is a bit of dull greenish-blue, but it appears to be inert, and all the BD has been killed. Not a super pretty coin, but with fourrees, what can one expect. If anybody has a regular silver ARAB ADIAB or similar reverse, I'd love to see it![/QUOTE]
