Dear Board,
I am not noticing much discussion on the uncleaned board lately. There are some coins I am (slowly) cleaning which I can share once cleaned to my satisfaction.
Here is a
Claudius As that I cleaned about a decade ago. I got to this coin the other day when working through my miscellaneous
collections of unattributed coins.
I
still find the coin pleasant overall despite its significant
pitting.
