<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rooman9, post: 2234991, member: 73048&quot;]I&#039;ve been cleaning some roman coins lately and I encountered this interesting problem. I&#039;ve had the coins soaking in DW for a while and slowly been working on them and I came across this one. The reverse had a huge chunk of what I thought was dirt. So I pulled out a toothpick to try to scrap a bit of it off. Instead the toothpick sunk all the way and took a huge chunk out. And as you can see it left a part of the coin purple. Is that the bare metal or just a weird patina? Long story for a simple issue. Any ideas? I&#039;ve stopped soaking and cleaning it until I find out more.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]439930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439932[/ATTACH] </p><p>Sorry about the bad photos.
