[QUOTE="philologus_1, post: 7464566, member: 92212"][B][I]My Ephesian Domitia and I both thank you three gentlemen! [/I][/B] I've unsuccessfully tried repeated LONG soaks in distilled water, followed by carefully gentle mechanical cleaning attempts under the scope. The acid approach was a clutching-at-straws idea. But I'm starting to love the coin "as is". Although... do you think Domitia may look pretty in pink? It worked for Molly Ringwald. Of course Molly had more going for her aesthetically than did Domitia who almost rivals Cleopatra for her beauty -- if you know what I mean. ;-) (Sometimes Domitia's numismatic image looks like Domitian wearing her wig.) :-o I digress. Thanks again! I look forward to trying the O.P.'s process on a few silver coins with those types of encrustation.[/QUOTE]
