<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 4954736, member: 87200"]Still a pretty nice coin. Lesson learned. I have had my ups and downs cleaning coins. I tried a chemical approach one time (which I found on the Internet) and it destroyed the coins. (Don't use liquid descaler on late roman bronze!). Minor efforts to remove crud using a toothpick and/or a dental pick can yield decent results on occasion. Your coin still has a nice orichalcum color.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
