Too bad about the scratches - they do detract. However, I still think you did well on this one. It is a nice cent all in all, and fairly scarce....
It is always nice to expand your numismatic horizons - like having a new girlfriend/boyfriend in a way... Those are some nice new additions!...
I have just a very few french mediaeval coins, an Ecu d'or of Charles VII, and a Demi Ecu of Charles IX. I also have a penny for Richard the...
Interesting coin - a dolphin with sharp teeth. An allusion to Charles VII's temperament maybe?
Roman Collector, thought it may be interesting - here is my example of the same type as yours. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Nice! That is a good example of a Sabina Sr. sestertius.
Thank you all very much for your opinions, which I have read with great attention. Ken essentially confirms what my inexperienced eyes and...
I have long since put this one down to 'The Ignorance of Youth'. Don't even remember what I paid, but it probably (hopefully!) wasn't too much....

Pishpash, thanks, here it is. I am unsure whether this is just incredibly thick patina or a green layer of crud easier to remove. What do you...
Great examples Pishpash, Doug and PMONNEY, and thanks for posting them.
fantastic result Pishpash! I have a galba dupondius with a incredibly thick patina/layer of green. Maybe it can be helped too.
Another sestertius of Vitellius. Very worn unfortunately, but nice color and much scarcer than the Pax type. Vitellius. AD 69. Æ Sestertius. Rome...
I would like to dedicate this thread to an old-time favorite of mine - Emperor Vitellius. I credit him for getting me started along the path of...
Unfortunately that coin has been badly mishandled. However, Like you I do not shy away from taking coins into my collection which are significant...
Amazing condition for a chain! Well done, 900fine. PS- If something like that came into my life, I would not let her go....
Like you, I would have had difficulty making the decision to clean it. It is an important and historic coin, and its relation to the Second Punic...
