Yes indeed, that was one of the things I really loved about this coin. Sometimes you must clean an ancient coin because it is covered with 2000 years of encrustations, but after a while it develops a beautiful toning like this coin. I am working on cleaning a Quietus Antoninianus that is getting pretty shiny, but I plan to own it for a long time, and hopefully it will retone soon. It was dirt encrusted before, and now is a stunning EF coin. Nathan
