Here are the images:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/cache/Hadrianobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/cache/Hadrianrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is what he bought (not cheap mind you but of course the coin is in great shape!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is what he was left with after a soak in acetone</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/cache/Hadrianobv1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/cache/HadrianRev1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Apparently this coin of Geta was given a similar treatment:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/cache/Getarev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/cache/Getarev1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.numismatikforum.de/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=35424" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismatikforum.de/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=35424" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismatikforum.de/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=35424</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In one soak a very expensive coin turned into a not so expensive coin for the unsuspecting buyer.
