I do indeed. I also have a computer with a cracked an unusuable screen and won't be on CoinTalk much until it is repaired, nor will I be able to...
:wideyed: How was it shipped? Next time I buy anything from Roma I'll have them use that carrier. Registered Royal Mail takes 2-3 weeks to...
I'd definitely try a distilled water soak. Perhaps @YOC and @Pishpash will weigh in. They have more experience with cleaning coins than do most...
I did my part recently with the purchase of a Constantine I AE4 :D
I'm not at all proficient, but Google Translate occasionally helps-- not sure it helped this time though :D When asking for Latin-to-English...

I will be forever envious of this! :)
One favorite, hmm? The book I use most often is Keith Emmett's Alexandrian Coins (2001). He's working on another book which will catalog...
