<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3589092, member: 87200"]I agree with Justin - a distilled water soak followed by toothbrush/toothpick work. Sometimes yields good results, though not always. I'm hoping some of the powdery green stuff might loosen and come off. Keep in mind that these Constantinian bronzes were made with poor quality metal for the most part, and don't stand up well to too much cleaning - nothing like the quality of orichalcum from the earlier Empire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
