Hinkle Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I'm going through some of my world coin's and thought this one was a little unusual. It looks like brass to me. Is this fake/replica. It doesn't weigh and looks very odd. Any information would be helpful thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Zyskowski Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Not an expert by a long shot just saying I like it. I would consider the ultimate sin and (if it was mine) I might try and get the glue off and clean it up a little bit and pocket piece it😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd start with distilled water. It's only the ultimate sin if one does it in a sinful situation and way. With ancients, often they are discovered in a huge bronze coinberg the size of a football and we'd never get them apart without some form of cleaning; then we'd never identify them without some more cleaning. I think in most of those cases they use the electric current method. James Zyskowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
