<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2611453, member: 77077&quot;]Related to my Dekadrachm repair thread, I think some cleaning work was done to this coin.&nbsp; Either dirt or corrosion seems to have been removed from the end of his nose and below.&nbsp; The glob of metal on the end of his nose looks like it was metal filling into a die break and not metal added later.&nbsp; There is no visible seam around the blob that would show it was added.&nbsp; Some lamination of the flan is visible below his nose and a layer may have broken off.&nbsp; Makes me wonder how much the weight of the coin could have decreased as a result of these changes?</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, I am stoked to have a Zeus stater finally, now 30ish years after first seeing them in books.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
