<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 6487487, member: 87404&quot;]Nice results! I just did some cleaning on a couple coins that were delivered yesterday purchased from LAC on Vcoins. I got them (at ~25 GBP each) with the intention of working on them seeing that there was a better coin beneath. </p><p><br /></p><p>This GIII had a coating of dirt on it that was covering some of the detail on his face, legends, Abundantia, her cornucopia, and it&#039;s contents she&#039;s spilling... (Coins? Grain?) my first Abundantia. </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">Before</font></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1259119[/ATTACH] </p><p><font size="3">After</font></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1259115[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1259118[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This Nerva had a splattered coating of green crusty stuff and some odd maroon stuff. A couple little soaks in vinegar and some mild manual abrasive work, it dissolved and broke free. It looked like there is some more significant corrosion spots on obverse that I&#039;m leaving alone, but the one on back appears to possibly be BD so I worked at cleaning that one out and will be keeping an eye on it. It has a cool (early?) Nerva portrait and the reverse type is fascinating. I can&#039;t quite tell which RIC it is due to the well worn obverse legend... </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">Before</font></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1259120[/ATTACH] </p><p><font size="3">After</font> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1259116[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1259117[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
