<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tartanhill, post: 4363120, member: 93472&quot;]I just won this in the latest Roma auction.&nbsp; I have been giving my five grand kids an ancient coin each Christmas while trying to keep the cost of each coin around $100 or less.&nbsp; With the big flood of Alexander tets that have come on the market, I have seen a small decrease in the hammer prices for these coins in auctions.&nbsp; So I thought this would be an opportunity to pick up some of these for this Christmas.&nbsp; The coin below did not cost $100 or less but was close.&nbsp; When I looked closely at the pictures of the coin, it looked as though someone had tooled it and then covered the tooled area with some sort of darkening agent. This still didn&#039;t stop me from wanting the coin.&nbsp; Does anyone else at CT see what I see?&nbsp; If my suspicions are correct, should I try to remove whatever darkened the tooled areas or leave it as is?&nbsp; What could I use to remove the darkening?&nbsp; Thanks for any comments.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.numisbids.com/sales/hosted/roma/e69/image00390.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
