[QUOTE="TIF, post: 8253806, member: 56859"]See [USER=100731]@Roerbakmix[/USER]'s notes on mine below. I can't tell from your photo-- are the deposits black or are they dark green? I'm going to try a dilute citric acid soak first on mine to see if the deposits are all cupric or if the copper is just a coating covering horn silver. Yours is a very nice example of the lion biga :). Great assortment of AltTrans! Nice pickup, Z :). Nice without any qualifiers... the pedigree is definitely icing on consecration cake! You know I'm envious of that coin. Such an unusual and veristic rendering of a camel, although it looks like the rider is going to fall off backwards, or else he's applying the brakes? :D Ah yes, I too fondly remember the day :D. You most certainly would have. I've been wanting a nice example of that type for a long time and yours is about the nicest I've seen. I snoozed and losed. Wait, that's not right. Snost and lost? Erm, never mind. :hilarious: I think you're right. If I had better skills and [B]lot [/B]more time I'd try to animate that scene :D. Thanks! I'll try that first :).[/QUOTE]
