<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Trebellianus, post: 3120829, member: 91569&quot;]Well put — if this coin, as dug up, was naturally patinated in the usual way, and at some later point was stripped judiciously and set aside for a while (which is probably what we&#039;re looking at here), then in one sense &quot;undisturbed&quot; is hardly the word for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m satisfied with the surfaces, at any rate: the porosity / pitting is evident, but overall the coin calls to mind its original appearance rather than any modern steps taken to get it to look like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
