<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael W. Bradley, post: 8342996, member: 114144&quot;][ATTACH=full]1479587[/ATTACH] Forum Ancient coins made me an offer I couldn&#039;t refuse: &quot;Billion Follis Thessolonica Mint (Salonika Greek) RIC VI 375: O. VAL. LICINIUS PF AUG, Lauriate Head right. R. VIRTUTI EXERCIIUS. Mars advancing right, holding transverse spear and trophy across shoulder. B in right field. SM*TS in exerque.&quot;</p><p>[I would be facetious by adding that Mars is advancing again in Europe and leaving mayhem in his wake-as he always does]. Anyway, a very inexpensive item. Got me into the hobby again after over a year long hiatus due to treasurehunter2014 putting up a fake pic for a cull coin. And a judge who rules that an out-of-state seller can sue in Ohio but not vice-versa. (What Nonsense)</p><p>(Still working on perfecting photos even though I have downloaded a CT page on how to do it, not quite figured out how to &#039;edit&#039; on the phone)[ATTACH=full]1479586[/ATTACH] . A long process, I cleaned him up as best I could-some may say a little &#039;overcleaned&#039; but that is for the reason that I soak bronzes in a solution of BTA. (In this case for three days with another more interesting specimen which I will post shortly). With BTA one wants to remove as much &#039;gunk&#039; from the surface-so that the BTA will bond with the copper ions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
