[QUOTE="THCoins, post: 1936801, member: 57364"]I do not have much trust in CNG any more based on recent personal experience. Here is an indo-scyhian coin i bought in a recent auction. This is the sales picture: [ATTACH=full]334996[/ATTACH] The coin is a bit rough. But these bronzes often are overcleaned at some point in time. When it arrived i found that the surface layer was flaking of. Like the coin had been painted. More alarming, part of the inscription seemed to be detaching. This is what the coin looked after 2 seconds in acetone and a soft wipe: [ATTACH=full]334997[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334998[/ATTACH] The brown stuff is some plastic filler material, which did not dissolve completely yet.
