Brilliant thanks Alectus … so it’s an Eddy 1st Penny , when you say Zappage I guess you mean ultrasonic cleaner?

He means electrolysis. I’ve never tried it myself but there’s a good coin under that crust

With the current weather it's always good to remain beach ready

Nero Denarii are unusual finds so if you are to use electrolysis, please take it very slowly as to not cause any further damage to the coin.
Great find BTW.

Electrolysis has many uses but the type used here is basically one to clean . You’ve a lovely silver coin under that layer of oxidisation and dirt. You could soak it in lemon juice (viscous in my view so I don’t recommend it) or soaked in distilled water and then mechanically cleaned with a wooden toothpick (works but takes weeks). Or just leave it.

Zappage all day long. Safe & fast.....done job.

Just following up, I had a go at the dark art of electrolysis after some of you suggested and here is the result thanks all

Alectus, i googled Fourree id never heard the word it says fake, forgery the denarius gives off an extremely strong sulphurous smell indicating silver could it still be fake ? Cheers feller
