<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2114043, member: 44210&quot;]Bought another later Byzantine follis, one of the anonymous Jesus folles from the reign of either Romanus III (1028-1034) or Michael IV (1034-1041). On my phone it kinda looked like the obverse could be cleaned further, and the coin was at a low starting bid so I went for it. But looking at it on my comp I&#039;m now not so sure that tan-colored stuff is dirt; I fear it may be exposed metal, probably from a harsh cleaning. I don&#039;t have it in hand yet and probably won&#039;t for a while and I know I could just simply wait for it but this has been kinda bugging me, so I am hoping to get opinions on what exactly it is, thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>(click the photo to enlarge)</p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/1_zpstcvqn51z.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
