Nice job on the cleaning.

 

Very cool; I'm hopeless at cleaning coins.

Especially cool that you found it!

 

I think this is a very rare type!

 

Very nice!

Do you have any cleaning tips for noobs? Like for cleaning late Roman AE3s? Dunking them in olive oil and waiting a long time didn't seem to work.

Great cleaning job. The reverse is the two Pannoniae

 

Great find! And a nice cleaning job as well. Always love seeing everything you manage to find out there!

Here’s my example of the type:


Trajan Decius, Antoninianus (22 mm, 4.16 g), Rome. Radiate and cuirassed bust of Decius r./ Rev. PANNONIAE The two Pannoniae standing front, looking left and right; the one on the l. holding standard, the one on the r. raising her r. hand in salute and holding vexillum in her l. RIC 21b

 

@galba68.....That's a great find!...Thanks for showing the coin cleaned, nice addition....

 

Outstanding @galba68! Very good job cleaning this coin (as all of the ones I've seen you post have been). It's difficult to imagine that "glob" would turn into that nice of a coin! Thanks for posting.

 

Congratulations on the find and great job with the conservation!

Here's my example of the two Pannoniae reverse type.
