    Does that *ever* get old? I think I'd get child every time I dug something up like that!

    Oh yes, Agricantus..When the coin is made of good, quality silver, you dont need to clean coin..Especially coins from 1 st and 2 nd century..

    I just sent my son in Belgium the images of this find @galba68. He has been meaning to find time to go out with his new MD. Perhaps this will stir him on, eh?

    Bing, problem with the quality of silver coins begins with Sever dynasty..On this field, bronze coins are in very, very bad condition, but the quality of silver coins is amazing..Few years ago, l find on the same field, two denarii, Faustina senior and Faustina jnr in mint condition..How? Why? No idea..

    Oh, I was not doubting the find, I just find it hard to fathom a coin so pristine after so long in the ground. I only wish I could find something like it someday.
