The coins seems to have little wear, but the patina is not exactly pleasing. So i think i'd be also inclined to dip it, to age a bit more gracefull afterwards.

I need to take a better focussed picture, but I think that this is as far as I will go.

A very difficult call, bagerap. The high points on this coin are the middle flower on the crown, the beard and the hair parting. It may be just the lighting, but I am seeing wear elsewhere now, while the high points look good. See e.g. the eyebrow.

I suspect that a lot of this is do with slightly soft focus on the image. I need to get a fresh eye test.
