<p>[QUOTE="Exodus_gear, post: 2682653, member: 35783"]Hello again everyone, a bit back I started getting into more ancient coins. I ended up doing some research for the last few months and decided to just try my hand at restoring some that I purchased as a lot, I spent $60 for 50 coins, figure I would have spent that much on fast-food one month so not a big loss. I know I am not a expert and am a long way from it but I wanted to share some of the progress I have made. These are on the last leg for me, fine detailing, which will take me a while, as I try to avoid damaging them in any way or ripping off patina. </p><p><br /></p><p>One pic is of how they arrived covered and funked up severely.
