What size is the coin Paul? Is it denarius size? The colour looks a bit odd and I'm wondering whether it could be silver under that layer of crud?

Just about the right size for a denarius.

My methods for cleaning these are a bit severe, and I'm never quite happy with the results - probably need more to practice on to get it right.

It usually involves throwing everything I have at it, starting with soap and water, then soaking in lemon juice, then spit and foil, then electrolysis. At some point in the process the thick coating of corrosion might flake off, leaving a nice smooth metal surface.

You can also try scraping or picking the corrosion off once it has been softened with spit and foil, but you have to be careful because often the metal surface is very soft and can easily be damaged.

Don't try any of the above if you think the coin could be anything rare or you're worried about wrecking it.
