<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 307304, member: 9204&quot;]Well, that would help to attribute mine. :-D But unfortunately, its two centuries earlier. Does yours also show a female figure, standing left, holding a cornucopiae? Try for a picture of the reverse anyway, it won&#039;t hurt. As for getting better pictures - I only use a scanner myself (That nice, big shot you put up from my site was taken from someone elses camera). </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as cleaning, I&#039;ve been meaning to post a large thread on it. First advice - stay away from olive oil! Its better on a salad than a coin. Your best bet for a beginner would be to just use distilled water, patience, and a toothbrush with the bristles cut down about halfway. If you&#039;re seriously into cleaning, you want to get Gringotts Coin Cleaner. Its specially formulated for uncleaned ancients and, while it may seem like a crock of bull at first, NOTHING (seriously, nothing) works better or faster. You also want to get a soft brass brush and a stainless steel dental pick for the harder encrustations. Remember, the CLEANING is the hobby, not the coin - don&#039;t expect to get anything nice. And please, preserve the patina! Nothing is uglier than a harshly cleaned ancient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
