Menagerie (Mule / Hare / Dolphin), Messana tetradrachm

Circa 425-421 BC.
caltabiano 491(d200/r196)
SNG ANS359 (same die)
Weber 1425 (same die)
Ex CNG 66 (2004)

The encrustation that was sitting on the reverse appeared to be possible to remove, so I gave it a go. Please look at the other image of this coin to compare. I`m very happy with the new look, and the surface was not damaged. Maybe I`m crazy to try something like this, but at least this time I was lucky.

The toning has not changed, its`simply just the flash on my camera making it shiny. I have put out a new image now. Still I`m not as good as CNG at taking coin photos, but at least this one is a bit closer. I also like toning and dullness Cool
