@Pishpash: I didn't think you were being terse. I was hoping to just lay out some groundwork of where I am coming from so it didn't seem like I...
Thought I would share a recent purchase that I had not seen until I saw this coin that I ended up buying. Providen Deor is not a common reverse...
Very nice coin and nice work on the pictures @ro1974!
Nice job @Deacon Ray! Been down the same road. It feels good to do good.
I did use wooden picks on all of the coins pictured. They soaked for a good month after the last water change (I spoke incorrectly in OP) so they...
I enjoy the offer feature as a buyer because I would like to get a deal of course. I try to find a price lower than the buy it now price and yet...
@Bing: Thanks a bunch pal. I have been trying to buy coins with nice portraits and full legends. One or two early purchases/ridiculously cheap...
Well, they are still long dead! Ha! But, my collection of them is not. Considering I have a little girl who is 12 weeks old today that is named...

@LaCointessa: I appreciate your detailed notes. I will be making a trip to Walgreens to pick up some wool and acetone. As it seems to be that...

What is the treatment for bronze disease? I wasn't sure if I should try a harder brush of some sort or not. I don't want to ruin anything if...
Hello All, I spent about $20 to buy a lot of 20 ancient bronze coins. They are all Roman from what I can tell. All I have done is soak these...
Well, I inadvertently gave three above.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I just looked at my coins to see if I was delusional in thinking the wings on Victory in the OP were much smaller....
So unusual to see the small wings on Victory.
I wish I knew more about how tooling looks and the methods. Same with smoothing. I try my best to buy from good sellers. I bought a bunch of...
I still like seeing your pictures of your first Roman collection. I have learned to have some general parameters when I am looking for things...
I think you have a nice coin there. I think that coins of Elagabalus in general suffer from weak strikes and are easy to wear poorly. Yours...
