[QUOTE="MrZun, post: 25369696, member: 151621"]I know that most ancient coins were cleaned in the past, but a lot of people say you should not clean beyond its toning. I know my Coins were cleaned, but do they have or not the original toning? When cleaning a ancient silver, is It inevitable that It Will clean its original toning? I always saw that cleaning ancients are a restoration, Very different from cleaning modern Coins since ancients are all Full of dirt and deposits, but since hearing these things, i was kinda a bit down hearing that there are ancients with original patina out there, but most coins selling they all look like mine :( kinda makes me feel like my Coins were damaged instead of restored. I am taking these things too seriously and a clean ancient with or without a cabinet patina is not a damaged Coin? Edit: my camera makes my Coins a bit brighter, my republic denarius as an example, It way darker and has an yellow patina around and even more at the center, especially in the reverse.[/QUOTE]
