[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 1793331, member: 44210"]I am ok at cleaning but not enough for something like the coin #1 obverse so I will take the advice and leave as is. Those two first reasons are what drive me to collect these late, overlooked coins of 5th century Rome. The scarcity of many of these provide a good challenge and makes obtaining these coins even more worthwhile. Doesn't mean though that I don't usually try to get the best quality I can on my budget. At the same time though I don't mind paying a lot less for a coin that is slightly less better than a coin of the same type going for a lot more. That's just how I do things. Funny you mention siliqua, because I happen to have a siliqua of Honorius :D: [IMG]http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/HonoriusSiliquaObvRev-1_zpsea7ace19.jpg[/IMG] Milan mint[/QUOTE]
