My next batch of ancients to clean

I just started soaking these today. I will post the progress if anyone is interested.

Looks like there could be some interesting folles/AE2's. No tiny AE4's. It will be interesting to see how they clean up.

 

Looking forward to seeing what comes from them. Be sure to post your progress

 

A couple of them look to be ready to clean up fairly easy. I hope to get some interim recognition.

 

I see one FEL TEMP horseman and what looks to be a GLORIA EXERCITVS

 

Yes, I can see some nice coins. Some are silvered so I need to take care with them. They are better sizes than a person usually can find. Thanks for the feedback.

 

If the coin in the center is any indication, you know what you're doing!!

 

Yes, it did clean up nice.

 

"Being There", Peter Sellers... GREAT underrated movie and hilarious (as usual from this guy!)

Not sure what that cap means, though.

 

I posted this information in a different discussion. It is in regards to my next batch to clean. Rather than doing it all over, I am posting a link to that posting.

That quarter looks already clean, you can flip it.

 

Thanks I needed that, I think.

 

My internet has been down for 2 days. Back up now and I have a few cleaned enough for posting. I will put them up this evening. Thanks for your interest.

 

Here is one I am just about finished with. I have before and after pics. I find it to be Constantine I, SOLI INVICTO COMITI, R and F across fields with Mint Mark R star ?. It could be P, S, T or Q. Some help would be appreciated. And, comments and corrections are very welcome.

 

Here is another one that I am working on. I haven't been able to even come close to identifying it. And, the Mint Mark appears to be R Q.

 

That certainly is an interesting one.

 

And another one. This is determined to be Constantine I RIC VII Siscia 7 with A or Delta in Right field. But, I think it should be RIC VI 231b however I can't find a photo of it. It did clean up very nice as did those others above.

 

Here is the latest effort. A Claudius Caesar. It is a very rough coin and I couldn't do much with it.

Before Cleaning

After Cleaning

 

You make me wonder if some of the garbage uncleaned LRBs I have could actually be spiffed up. Perhaps I’m not good enough at cleaning.
