<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CarolineP, post: 4422459, member: 77994&quot;]Bingo on the mini eagle coin. It&#039;s definitely Abydos, especially when I see it in person. Everything matches, down to the exact size (yay, glad I measured it right), design, and color! The top of the Y isn&#039;t present on mine since it&#039;s off center, but yeah. Thanks so much for your expert ID skills!! That would have taken me forever to find. I&#039;ll make a separate thread for the early Islamic fals - I&#039;m sure the area of expertise on those is different from the other ancients I&#039;ve posted since it&#039;s from a totally different era. If only I knew how to clean off that ugly copper corrosion...</p><p><br /></p><p>And sounds good on the water! Patience isn&#039;t one of my virtues, but if it makes my coins prettier without damaging them, I&#039;ll certainly try that method. I have absolutely zero experience with toothpicking coins, but I figure this is a good place to start. From what I can see, just gotta be gentle with the pick and not use the point 90 degrees straight on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
