<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 5396422, member: 15481&quot;]This is a kind of bronze coin patina that I find very beautiful, but also very difficult to photograph; the black, hard and glossy patina. There is quite a lot of pitting, unfotunately, but I don’t dare to do anything with this coin, as I fear any action will make it worse.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1232557[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Phrygia, Apameia.
