    Today I found this coin. I still didn't clean him. I need someone to confirm if this is Gordian III RIC 298b
    What is best way to clean coin? Or better just leave him like that.

    neat! give it a distilled water soak for a while (can' t do it to long), and hit it with a toothpick and toothbrush. you won't hurt it doing that.


    what is that other thing? a piece of pottery?

    Give it a soak like chris said. I think you have a very nice coin. Can you enlarge the image of the other piece?

    Yes, Gordian III, sestertius, IOVI STATORI reverse, RIC 299. Nice find! Clean it up a bit and it should look great - the patina seems to be completely intact.
