[QUOTE="Plumbata, post: 3768198, member: 96864"]I don't know the composition of the material, on coins I've worked on it seems like re-deposited brittle microcrystalline metallic silver, though I've encountered nodules or crusts of waxy purple(ish) chloride on some coins like that as well. I'd like to submit before-pictures of a 21.5mm 8.3g Corinthian stater I picked up relatively recently for 110 euros shipped, not a steal given the first-glance appearance but I was able to remove practically everything mechanically so it's quite attractive now and definitely worth the price, I'll have to take pics to share with you the lovely results.
