[QUOTE="Gil-galad, post: 2790445, member: 44154"]That's a great cleaning job on that tribute penny. Congrats for sure, my friend. I recently cleaned a Roman Imperatorial coin of Marcus Antonius. It came out fine but the coin is still low grade. [ATTACH=full]647970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]647971[/ATTACH] Roman Republic, Marcus Antonius (32-31 BC) AR Legionary Denarius Obverse: ANT AVG III VIR R P C, Praetorian galley rowing right, scepter tied with fillet on deck above. Reverse: LEG XIV, Aquila standard and two legionary standards. Reference: RSC 44; Cr 544/29; Syd 1234 Ex: Kayser-i Rum Numismatics The first photo is before, the second photo is after cleaning. I am not cleaning the coin any further because the reverse legend and devices are low relief and I don't want to damage them more. The coin also has scratches that were there under the black patina.[/QUOTE]
