<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1645132, member: 42773&quot;]I&#039;ll say first off that I&#039;m not particularly enticed by the idea of uncleaned ancients, but anyone that knows Nabateans is aware of the fact that round coins with well-centered devices on BOTH the obverse and reverse are things of considerable rarity. The dealer told me this coin was recently unearthed at an archeological dig and that I would be its first collector - perhaps I&#039;m getting a tall tale, but it doesn&#039;t really matter. It&#039;s on its long journey from Israel at the moment and it&#039;s going to need a nice bath with a little scrubbing when it arrives. What do I need to do?? This is what it looks like now...</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s3.postimage.org/z2iflt8o3/aretasa1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I tweaked the pic in photoshop - do you guys think I could get it to look something like this, or better?</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s18.postimage.org/h5gjqb3ux/aretasa1a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Do you guys see potential in this coin, or have I made a mistake?</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
