I believe this
didrachm of
Gela still has its 'find patina'; I've
had the coin for some time. If this coin were to be cleaned, do any of you experienced coin cleaners see anything that looks like it might be a problem after cleaning? The surfaces, what I can see of them with the coin in hand, look decent. But, I am not experienced in cleaning 'find patina' coins,
nor in analyzing their potential. The coin has a
flan flaw across the
obverse rider, as seen in the images. What would your approach be to cleaning this coin, or would you leave it be and preserve the original 'find patina'? Thanks for any and all advice.
