[QUOTE="vdbpenny1995, post: 26143843, member: 32122"]Hello all, I just picked up this lot of ancient (And 1 think 1 Spanish coin?) coins for cheap from a jewelry shop and was hoping for a little input. First I recognize the Alexander Drachms(?) I am not even positive they are genuine but they looks nice and weigh about 4.2 grams each but they appear to have two different obverse styles? Then there's some copper coins that seem to be in good condition. Some of them have some green crud around them. Am I able to properly clean this off to preserve the coin without destroying the integrity? Then lastly there is what I think is a 1770's Spanish cob (Looks like maybe 1771?) with a "chop-mark" of a B on it. It weighs 2.9 gram so im thinking it's a 1 cob but my knowledge in this subject is very limited. I'm not looking to resell these so I don't need exact value but if there is something super rare/valuable I would greatly appreciate any input as well so I can properly write it in my notes. Thanks a bunch in advance and look forward to learning a bit more about this unfamiliar subject area![ATTACH=full]1669074[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1669075[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
