<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1630169, member: 19463&quot;]I believe the Bridgnorth Hoard was cleaned by the British Museum.&nbsp; I only have one but it looks like a old copper penny.&nbsp; The surfaces are not perfect by Lincoln cent standards but these are not Lincoln cents.&nbsp; Is the color &#039;natural&#039;?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Artificially retoned?&nbsp; Yes. Attractive?&nbsp; It is to me.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what they looked like out of the ground but ancient collectors need to allow for the fact that 1600 to 2600 years is a long time and 99.99% of the coins were cleaned sometime in the last 500 years.&nbsp; Some were butchered, some conserved.&nbsp; You pick which you consider to be in each class.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My Bridgnorth coin (Trier mint):</p><p>[ATTACH]232814.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
