<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 67442, member: 1674&quot;]Hello, welcome to the forum!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Almost mint condition! Wow! That is AMAZING for a 1700 year old coin!&nbsp; In fact too amazing <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; It means that I doubt the coins authenticity.&nbsp; If you were to post good quality close-up photos in the &quot;ancient coins forum&quot; then you would be likely to get a pretty good estimate of its value as well as confirmation or correction of your identification of the coin.&nbsp; It is also likely that those guys could answer the authenticity question with a lot more accuracy than I can, too.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Actually it says it is scarce, there is a big difference.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that it stands for Roman Imperial Coinage, but I could be wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that you need to ask the question means that you are not qualified to do it in a manner that wouldn&#039;t harm the coin.&nbsp; Please don&#039;t take offense to that statement, I am not qualified to either.&nbsp; If you decide to have it cleaned find an expert to properly conserve the coin for you, otherwise leave it as is.&nbsp; Basically, if it is valuable enough to be worthy of cleaning, then it is valuable enough to pay a proffessional to do it properly.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No problem and good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
