<p>[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 2581300, member: 77077"]Looking at all the parallel scratches on it I would say someone cleaned it with a brass brush, which is common with bronze coins. The field patina looks more like dirt or earth than a copper compound which is perhaps why the color is a little unusual, but not that unusual for a provincial. I agree with the others that it looks good and further cleaning will make it worse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
