<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2250434, member: 31620&quot;]Nice job Bing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one I took on a few years ago. I don&#039;t ever attempt much in terms of cleaning. I simply don&#039;t have the skills (or patience) that these coins deserve.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin was sold to me as a limes denarius from poor dealer images. The price was cheap and I suspected he was wrong as a eastern limes would be a real oddity so decided to buy it. With the coin in hand I immediately believed it to be silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]445266[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I broke my own rules about not attempting to clean coins and started on it with a vinegar solution, a toothbrush and a softened cocktail stick. </p><p><br /></p><p>I got it as far as this after a few hours. So definately silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]445267[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Further work led to this, which is where I stopped.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]445268[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
