<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 3262335, member: 77226&quot;]I love those Severus II coins... they aren&#039;t as easy to snag as some may think. I&#039;ve been trying to get a good one at a good price for years. Nice coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a Galerius from Ticinum that frustrates me. My photos aren&#039;t great so you maybe can&#039;t tell but that mess on his face is just green mineralization on top a nice portrait. It&#039;s not corrosion... the actual coin surface is in good shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>A brave person who knew what they were doing may be able to remove it and have a very nice coin. When it comes to coins though... I don&#039;t trust myself to not ruin the coin if I tried to get the encrustations off. So, I&#039;ll leave it as is. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]858341[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Galerius AE Follis.</b></p><p>Obv: MAXIMIANVS NOB CAES, laureate head right</p><p>Rev: GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI, Genius standing left, modius</p><p>on head, naked except for chlamys over left shoulder,</p><p>holding patera and cornucopiae;</p><p>Left field: star;</p><p>Mintmark: ST dot.</p><p>RIC VI Ticinum 35b[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
