I think your 1810 still retains some charm, and possibly has more detail than at first glance. You may want to consider an acetone dip to...
Thank you all. Seems like most of you are in agreement that the cleaning did not ruin this coin. I think it is quite nice actually (better be...

Thank you guys. Frank, i think your pictures capture this coin better than mine! The surfaces are a bit reflective, and not as shiny as my...
Please grade this 1892 O half. Your comments as usual are much appreciated. Eduard

I say caracalla , or Geta too. But just to keep it interesting i'd say it could also be Commodus. I have seen some bearded protraits of him too...
