    Here are four Imperial Roman issues which I cleaned myself. One in particular reminds me of a member of this list :D Can you guess which coin and which member?

    Hey Bone. Were those coins zapped?

    Yes, I used salt-water and a 9volt adapter outfit. I sparingly used the process and finished cleaning them with a toothbrush and toothpick.

    Hello
    Not a lady but Constantine the great himself on a commemorative issue where he is represented veiled.

    The veiled portrait is supposedly the deification of Constantine who in reality,was a big burly truck driver type of guy.I guess as a god he would be a kinder,gentler being.To me he looks like a crossdresser but I really wish I had a copy of this coin.Nice going Bone!
    Back in November,we had an "identification party" on these coins,shortly after they were cleaned..quite interesting.
