<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 1639258, member: 44140&quot;]I really can&#039;t comment on the frequency of which this occurs. Without seeing it in hand I can&#039;t tell you if that&#039;s gold or silver. If its silver its not unheard of, there are some for sale If it is gold, i am almost certain that it was done in the modern era to an authentic ancient coin, if not&nbsp; in this century then the last. I don&#039;t recall ever seeing gold gilded ancients besides Axum. </p><p><br /></p><p>I strongly doubt that even reagent grade acetone would have any effect on the coating or the surface of the coin, especially in the short term. I would not recommend doing this, there is little to be gained by attempting it. I don&#039;t think there is need to change the state of the coin. I am a big fan of the as is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
