<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7825036, member: 19463&quot;]Historia Numorum is a reasonable choice for a phone support.&nbsp; The extreme closeness makes it hard to get nice soft light in there to make the coin look less harsh.&nbsp; I would suggest trying again with no light directed at the coin and just ambient, non-directional room light.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sodium thiosulphate once was available everywhere since it was used as &#039;fixer&#039; for photographic film and prints before digital made people forget why they bought it.&nbsp; As a photo technician, I have nearly bathed in it so consider it safe. If the coin were mine, I would try cleaning it but I have not had any access to &#039;fixer&#039; since I went digital in 2000.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a much later Aridos tet.&nbsp; Mine is fourree and I have twice informed auction houses that there is a die duplicate to mine that has even less core exposure but weighs only about 11g. I know its owner made at least two tries to sell it to people as solid but I do not know what happened to the coin after the last time I saw it.&nbsp; That one is centered a bit higher and shows the date OE (75) in exergue.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1344700[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
