<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marc Aceton, post: 1992008, member: 72101&quot;]Since Joe showed his Ostia sestertius from the former NAC sale in a parallel thread, I decided to upload pictures of mine. The coin is from the Arthur Bally-Herzog collection having a pedigree that is reaching back to 1907 and maybe, this was the decisive reason why I decided to take the risk and dared to spend a fortune of EUR 24k for a bronze.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like many sestertii, also this one was sealed with something that I believed to be show tube. I removed this with solvents and luckily, the coin was found out to be problem-free. After a very experienced Italian coin dealer recommended me to do so, I submitted this coin to a professional restorer for exposing this item completely.</p><p><br /></p><p>before cleaning</p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1103877" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1103877" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1103877" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1103877" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.acsearch.info/media/images/archive/47/1309/1103877.m.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>after cleaning</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/100080996@N04/9480762120/in/set-72157635012223298" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/100080996@N04/9480762120/in/set-72157635012223298" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7322/9480762120_d725338ceb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
