Re: Lucilla coin question
While a bit rough, this coin may actually clean up by removing the black coating.
I don't see cast pitting. I do see environmental damage and the original owner/finder scraped the surfaces to see if it was copper, silver, or gold underneath the dirt. (They sometimes do that as they are only interested in the silver and gold coins for melt value when they are in rougher shape.) So, you might as well remove the remainder of the "patina" and make it look nice.
RIC 1730
Lucilla, AE Sestertius, AD 164, ~25.6 g.
LVCILLAE AVG ANTONINI AVG F
CONCORDIA (Concordia seated left, holding patera and cornucopiae.)
SC in exergue
