<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 26129691, member: 77226&quot;]Yes, it took quite awhile and a lot of patience. In some of the spots with stubborn red and green encrustations, and dirt, I left a thin layer of it on the coin as I was worried about taking it down further to scratch the metal. So, you can still see a smudgy looking layer of red on his chest and in the upper left of the obverse. Also, some of the red was covering some pitting, so I stopped after removing the encrustations down to surface level. So, it’s not perfect but until I have a bit more time and magnification it’s much of the way there and the encrustations are less distracting. It actually looks better in hand as my photo seems to highlight blemishes a bit. I’ve left the Arab Byzantine alone as the dirt provides highlights to a very dark coin. My next project is to dive into researching that one.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1667523[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
