<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Noah Worke, post: 24563848, member: 115032&quot;]I have one that just came in from my second order (I&#039;m leaving all of them alone for now to soak in distilled water) and it seems to be in fairly good condition. The reverse is pretty legible already, so I&#039;ll see how it looks this afternoon after a day of soaking. I may not even need to scrape much of the dirt off. The reverse legend reads SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE which seems to be a type attributed only to Valens. I&#039;ll take a closer look and post photos when I get home, but this might be my second Identifiable coin that I&#039;ve been cleaning. Out of the 20 that I bought I have 14 soaking in distilled water, and five of the worst in olive oil. I just bought some picks the other day which helped me get rid of the worst of the dirt on most of the coins, but it&#039;s a double-edged sword as I did scrape some of the metal unfortunately. Nothing distracting, but still a reminder to be more careful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
