<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 2794718, member: 85693&quot;]I like that coin a lot, but I&#039;m a cheapskate and probably wouldn&#039;t pay more than $12 for it.&nbsp; Not sure I&#039;d clean it - I kind of like it the way it is. I agree that if it did clean up successfully, it could be worth a lot more.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This Spring I bought a denarius of Julia Domna that looks a lot like the OP coin - with silver like this I&#039;d ask whether it is really silver, or a base-metal &quot;limes&quot; denarius?&nbsp; I suspect limes of My Julia D (the weight is 2.83 grams and what little of the metal I can see beneath the black looks bronze to me).&nbsp; I still really like my coin, but I also like that I paid $4.50 for it.&nbsp; If a limes, the style is quite nice.&nbsp; The OP coin has a nice look to it as well - I especially like the portrait. </p><p><br /></p><p>The whole &quot;limes&quot; situation confuses me - there are some good posts elsewhere by folks who know a lot more than I do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
