[QUOTE="JJ Walker, post: 7939304, member: 125206"]Ancient Roman ring - Looking for any additional info (I'm pasting this same intro into all my first posts to level set. Thanks for your patience) ----------------- Hello all, I'm new here. Please be kind :) So I recently found out about auctions for ancient coins and artifacts. I've mostly just been buying things that feel interesting or give me a good feeling (everything I'm posting I already own at the price I list). I have always loved archeology and history, and also been a minor coin collector since childhood. I'm not really collecting as an investment, more as a form of time travel. I just love touching and holding these objects and imagining who may have held it when it was newer. Having some kind of historical context to these objects is what I am mostly after. Also, I am strongly interested in attempting to restore everything to as close to what it looked like when it was new(er). I don't want to destroy anything, but I also do want to be "aggressive" in the restoration efforts in an attempt to do so. ----------------- So with this (potentially real) coin ($61) I'm looking for 1. Any info you all might think about it. a. The only description was "AE As. RIC82. Divine Augustus/Eagle VF Struck 34-37 AD - AUGUSTUS POSTHUMOUS ISSUE UNDER TIBERIUS" b. It seems to be in good shape. c. I read this is commonly faked so I'm concerned. 2. Best advice to attempt to restore it. a. Does it look like any of this "bronze disease" I've read about? b. Is it possible to restore this to look closer to new? Thank you for reading and I really do appreciate your time and look forward to learning more and being part of your community.
