It is a Pius / Aurelius Caesar sestertius that I have always had on my want list, well struck and perfectly centered, but the patina is, uh... white?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1004659[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1004660[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve soaked bronze coins before, usually without much success, but this one might show promise.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, to the more experienced cleaners out there - is there anything that can be done to darken the coin and bring out the detail better? Maybe a few months to a year in olive oil? Should I give it an acetone or peroxide rinse?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
