General Discussion / Re: Sol Numismatik auction-- orange patinas

I won some cheap Crusader coins but I also won the LIBERATOR ORBIS; which I know will be a hot mess. I hope that I can help it out somehow.

Yeah.  Looks like I might have to do some Cheetos scrubbing.

I won a couple of coins from them a few weeks ago. I will go back and check.

Re-patination is probably easier and quicker than nice cleaning.

A good reason to not bid. Who knows what lies beneath.

If you are bidding in this auction, as I am, you may not be aware but most of the coins have been re-patinated. Notice all the orange desert patinas. If I win any, they will go into acetone soaks.

It is deceptive as it is not mentioned in the descriptions.

on my page that you linked to, created in 2008, I said "they obviously commemorated peace in the Empire. This time of peace was the culmination of many events—Constantine defeated Maxentius, Licinius defeated Maximinus, Constantine’s sister married Licinius and cemented peace between the two rulers, and in A.D. 313, Constantine and Licinius signed the Edict of Milan." The title of the page is even "Founder of Peace"

That’s an interesting suggesting that the latter set celebrates the (short-lived) unity of Constantine and Licinius as opposed to a military victory. That does comport better with the bare headed obverse bust. Thanks for the discussion and examples.
